Warning:
   You are using ASDF version 3.0.3 (probably from (require "asdf")
   or loaded by quicklisp) and have an older version of ASDF (and older than
   2.27 at that) registered at
   #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-asdf/asdf.asd".
   Having an ASDF installed and registered is the normal way of
configuring ASDF to upgrade itself, and having an old version
registered is a configuration error. ASDF will ignore this configured
system rather than downgrade itself. In the future, you may want to
either: (a) upgrade this configured ASDF to a newer version, (b)
install a newer ASDF and register it in front of the former in your
configuration, or (c) uninstall or unregister this and any other old
version of ASDF from your configuration. Note that the older ASDF
might be registered implicitly through configuration inherited from
your system installation, in which case you might have to specify
:ignore-inherited-configuration in your in your
~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf
   or other source-registry configuration file, environment variable
or lisp parameter. Indeed, a likely offender is an obsolete version of
the cl-asdf debian or ubuntu package, that you might want to upgrade
(if a recent enough version is available) or else remove altogether
(since most implementations ship with a recent asdf); if you lack the
system administration rights to upgrade or remove this package, then
you might indeed want to either install and register a more recent
version, or use :ignore-inherited-configuration to avoid registering
the old one. Please consult ASDF documentation and/or experts.

This seems to be a bug with ASDF 3.0.3 as I can reproduce the same
issue with SBCL 1.1.14 if I load ASDF 3.0.3 but /not/ when I use the
bundled ASDF 3.0.2.

HTH,
