- claim that slime/McClim is broken and fix them - only redirect to /var/cache for packaged libraries

I'm voting for option 1.

/me too. SLIME had this problem for a while, but IIRC it was solved with the patch at [1], which seems to not have been applied yet. We need to push it upstream again. I didn't check the Debian cl-mcclim sources yet, so I don't know how its maintainer solved the problem, thus I cc:ed him :-)

Oh Luca: #384457 seems still closed to me, not?

I replied to that bug because IMHO it was the one that trigger your changes to c-l-c. Maybe the best thing is to leave the *redirect-fasl-files-to-cache* variable (a fix that closes #384457), but default it to t (the simplest solution for a normal user and for the CL-Debian packages), documenting its behavior in README.Debian (and maybe NEWS.Debian, too, thus it appears during upgrades). Just my 0.02€... Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2006-July/005056.html
