Hi,

Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem.

I have deleted the source files, the deb files and rebuilt sbcl from the latest 
source on the mirror. Neither fink nor apt-get allow me to install nor remove 
sbcl.

Error message from "sudo apt-get remove sbcl":
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  sbcl 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0  not upgraded.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

What other commands can I attempt?
