Well I could just past the message buffer contents here, but I
won't since I am pretty sure the problem is due to Emacs
packaging (and I have a ilisp debian package installed). My guess
is that you are right: I should remove ilisp since I have never
used it before and won't use it ;)

Yes. Done ;) This fixed the problem BTW :/

Now only slime is loaded and that's fine this way.

I agree with you but when a user says explicitly what he wants to
do with his lisp files, I think default behavior should be
overridden by user settings -i.e. SLIME should have been used
solely and Emacs should have forgotten about ilisp-.

Nevermind, now all is cool.

Yup. I forgot to check if anything had been added before telling
this ;)

Thank you for help and support.
