asdf-build-system: Problem running tests for cl-unicode

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi,

I’m trying to build a package for sbcl-cl-unicode, which I need for a JS
uglifier (to be able to generate minified JS files in other packages’
build processes).

Unfortunately, the tests fail with

    "The name NIL does not designate any package."

“cl-unicode” seems to have more problems.  When I ignore the tests and
try to build “sbcl-cl-ppcre-unicode” (see below), I get an error about
“CL-UNICODE” not designating any package.

Here’s the definition of “sbcl-cl-ppcre-unicode”:

(define-public sbcl-cl-ppcre-unicode
  (package (inherit sbcl-cl-ppcre)
    (name "sbcl-cl-ppcre-unicode")
    (arguments
     `(#:asd-file "cl-ppcre-unicode.asd"))
    (inputs
     `(("sbcl-cl-ppcre" ,sbcl-cl-ppcre)
       ("sbcl-cl-unicode" ,sbcl-cl-unicode)))))

Attached is the patch for “sbcl-cl-unicode”.
