You can check out the latest cl+ssl - which contains a fix for the problem:

cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects/
git clone git://gitorious.org/cl-plus-ssl/cl-plus-ssl.git

Quicklisp will automatically find cl+ssl from that location.  Remember to remove that checkout after you've upgraded to a newer quicklisp release that has the fix in the future.

Kevin,

Thank you very much - I was absolutely sure I was doing something wrong!

Could you please show how I can roll back to cl+ssl-20130128-git ? I don't know how to do it, I'm a quicklisp newbie.

Many thanks,
Piotr

I encountered this same error after upgrading packages via quicklisp.  I
rolled back cl+ssl to version cl+ssl-20130128-git and the problem went
away.  I have not had time to investigate further yet.
