</span>You need a fresher version of cffi-grovel. Update your quicklisp<br>
and/or make sure you don't have an antique version of cffi in your<br>
local-projects and/or source-registry.<br>

><br>
</span>quicklisp provides an antique asdf 2.26 that is only loaded in even<br>
more antique implementations. All maintained implementations have been<br>
providing asdf 3.1 or later for over a year.<br>
