The contents of laturk-unique.asd: 

(in-package :asdf)
(defsystem "laturk-unique"
  :version "0.1.0"
  :name "laturk-unique"
  :author "Louis A. Turk"
  :description "Converts utf-8 text file to list of sorted unique
words."
  :components ((:file "packages")
               (:file "iterate" :depends-on ("packages"))
               (:file "collate" :depends-on ("iterate"))
               (:file "laturk-unique" :depends-on ("collate"))))

The contents of packages.lisp:

(in-package :common-lisp-user)
(defpackage :laturk-unique
  (:use #:cl)
  (:shadowing-import-from #:collate . #.(collate::external-symbols)))

Thank you very much for looking at this. I thought the problem was
