In attempting to upgrade ASDF, I have broken its operation.
This work-around has not been helpful. https://stackoverflow.com/q/45043190/8770050
Here is the problem, (and Quicklisp seems to be working OK)

My Lisp and Emacs versions, on Ubuntu 16.04, are

Any suggestions on repairing or upgrading my ASDF, gratefully received.

if you want to get help you'll need to copy-paste the actual error and the backtrace.

Others might have some more fruitful input, but I would suggest if using something else than GNU CLISP is an option at all, do it. It's an implementation with significant less support than say ccl or sbcl.

I'm going to second this. We try to test ASDF on clisp, but it's quite hard, since there's no authoritative release process that I can identify (note the 9 year old banner message on startup of your clisp). So I don't know what to test on, and *I do not have time to build implementations from source solely in order to test them.*
Quicklisp packages an ancient version of ASDF (six years old AFAICT). You should try at all costs *not to load this*, but to use a more up-to-date version, either grabbing it from our site or (hopefully) packaged with your CL implementation. It looks like the version from Quicklisp might be loaded first, and then ASDF is trying to upgrade itself, causing this error. Have your `.clisprc` (or whatever it's called) load an up-to-date ASDF *first*, and this problem should go away, since ASDF will not downgrade itself.
I wish Xach would get rid of this old version of ASDF, but there's some reason he won't, which may have to do with bad blood between him and Faré...

That's given me something to go on. I'll try a recent ASDF earlier in the path. I have SBCL also, and use it. CLISP should really come to the party, perhaps Xach also. We just want to use this stuff. Thank you, gentlemen.
CLISP has adopted ASDF 3 a few years back in their source code repo (currently at 3.1.7 from 2016), but since they haven't released since 2010 and many distributions stick to the "latest release", CLISP often comes with no ASDF, or sometimes an ancient version of ASDF from 2011, at which point Quicklisp installs its own ancient version of ASDF 2.26 from 2012.
Upgrading from 2.26 to 3.x is only supported if done very early in the build. If for some reason you're doing it mid-build, things are going to break badly. I recommend using a recent Lisp with a recent ASDF. If you really need CLISP rather than say SBCL or CCL, please use a recent checkout rather than the "so stable it's dead" release from 2010.
Another potential hack is to replace the ~/quicklisp/asdf.lisp by a recent one and clear the quicklisp cache (in ~/quicklisp/cache/ I presume but I'm not sure). Or, if CLISP comes with an asdf.fas somehow, replace it with one compile-file'd from a recent ASDF.
Happy hacking!

Working now, with a new ASDF 3.3.2
Now loading asdf.lisp before Quicklisp in the ~/.clisprc.lisp file.
So, this line at the top; (load (compile-file #P"~/.quicklisp/asdf.lisp"))
And I see Faré answered this same question elsewhere back in 2016.
Many thanks to all.

Latest release is 3.3.3.

Nope. This will compile each and every time. Just compile it once with compile-file. Then, (load (compile-file-pathname #P"...")) it once with compile-file.

Understood and fixed per your suggestion.
Thanks also for earlier suggestions, will move to SBCL soonest.
Applied hack for bug in Quicklisp, https://github.com/xach/quickproject/issues/19
and original app is now working almost perfectly,
