Message-ID: <87fwcz2uvm.fsf@ergodik.univ-brest.fr>

Hello,

I encounter a problem trying to download babel using quicklisp. 

I am on debian squeeze and I use the last version of sbcl 1.0.55 that I
downloaded 5mns ago from the website, together with a fresh install of
quicklisp. I can reproduce the error using the version of sbcl 1.0.40
in the debian repositories. 


The relevant part of the log which is attached to this message seems to be
* (ql:quickload "babel")
To load "babel":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    babel
; Loading "babel"

; file: /home/harven/.quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/babel-20120208-git/src/enc-unicode.lisp
; in: DEFINE-UTF-16 :UTF-16
;     (BABEL-ENCODINGS::DEFINE-UTF-16 :UTF-16)
; 
; caught ERROR:
;   (during macroexpansion of (DEFINE-UTF-16 :UTF-16))
;   #:~A-CODE-POINT-COUNTER fell through ETYPECASE expression.
;   Wanted one of (STRING SIMPLE-STRING).


A similar error has been reported on github 
https://github.com/cl-babel/babel/issues/9
where it was suggested to run the command
(alexandria:format-symbol t '#:~a-code-point-counter "UTF16") 
Here is what I get.

* (ql:quickload "alexandria")
To load "alexandria":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    alexandria
; Loading "alexandria"

("alexandria")
* (alexandria:format-symbol t '#:~a-code-point-counter "UTF16") 

debugger invoked on a SB-KERNEL:CASE-FAILURE in thread
#<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {AB2C889}>:
  #:~A-CODE-POINT-COUNTER fell through ETYPECASE expression.
  Wanted one of (STRING SIMPLE-STRING).

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

(SB-KERNEL:CASE-FAILURE

Any help ?

Thanks, it worked.
I thought my version of quicklisp was up to date, but apparently I was wrong.

Best wishes,
