[asdf-devel] (asdf:system-source-directory :uiop) not working after upgrade to 3.0.2.25

So I went ahead and tried

  (load (compile-file "quicklisp/asdf.lisp"))

before loading quicklisp/setup.lisp.

And yes, I copied version.lisp.expr into quicklisp/local-projects/uiop/.

To test that it wasn't ignoring the uiop in local-projects because it is
the same version as what is already loaded, I even temporarily bumped the
version number in that version.lisp-expr to 3.0.2.33.

Still no dice -- I still get

 (asdf:system-source-directory :uiop)   --> nil

after loading the quicklisp/setup.lisp and (ql:register-local-projects)

Quicklisp works in general after the upgrade. It just can't find the source
directory (or any source directory) for :uiop.


It's not crucial that I release with this latest 3.0.2.32, but I just bring
up this issue in case it is actually a lurking asdf bug which needs to be
shaken out before 3.0.3 release...
