[slime-devel] Re: make swank safe if loaded into an image with an older version of swank in the image

This patch seems to break loading swank through ASDF from within SLIME. (I came across this while loading another system that depends on swank.)

Emacs just hangs and pressing C-g gets me the following message printed onto the repl buffer:

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR: *PACKAGE* can't be a deleted package: *PACKAGE* has been reset to #<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP-USER">.

Reverting the patch fixes this.

does adding an (in-package :common-lisp-user) as the first thing in swank-loader.lisp fix it as well? -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen
