Thanks, Luis! I noticed update-all-dists too late, not sure how I missed it. I bravely attempted (ql:update :cffi) but of course no luck, I guess because you are saying:

But then the name "update-all-dists" seems off (checking my understanding). Does it not update-all-*projects* in the one current dist? Trying to answer my own question on The Google, I found this gem of a thread: http://blog.quicklisp.org/2011/08/going-back-in-dist-time.html ...and the extensive :ql-dist package. I guess I should not have skipped the instruction to contact Xach if I had any questions. :) Thanks again, hk On Wed, Dec 27, 2017 at 5:53 AM, Luís Oliveira <luis...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 26, 2017 at 7:43 PM, Ken Tilton <kentil...@gmail.com> wrote: > > But I am curious, I will first try to see why uninstall did not work. > > When you first install Quicklisp, it will download the latest dist.
