It can happen (though i admit it's a rare occurance) that you build an image with swank, update swank and then try to load swank into the existing image. hard to debug/understand errors ensue, this simple patch protects against that.

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. -- Luís Oliveira http://student.dei.uc.pt/~lmoliv/
