Can't find some systems
(ql:quickload :april) => System "cape" not found. But the cape.asd file is there.
(ql:quickload :format-seconds) => not found, even though
(ql-dist:find-system :format-seconds-tests)
=>
#<QL-DIST:SYSTEM format-seconds-tests / format-seconds-production-e6b26811-git / quicklisp 2025-06-22>
@stassats I'm not 100% sure, but, looking at this report (http://report.quicklisp.org/2025-07-04/failure-report/format-seconds.html?) it seems to be a missing dependency as of latest release.
Could be for several different reasons, like temporary removal due to a bug, but I'm not 100% sure.
Recent removal means you’ll need to wait for it to return or install manually.
So, if you absolutely need it, I recommend git cloning it into either /home/username/.quicklisp/local-projects , or if using Roswell: /home/username/.roswell/local/projects
Symlink works too if you prefer
(ql:quickload :april) => System "cape" not found. But the cape.asd file is there.
"cape" is new.
The april system has a sub-directory cape, which has a cape.asd file that defines "cape". I don't know why quicklisp misses it.
You can get around the error by loading (load "<dir>/cape/cape.asd")
Quicklisp does not use the filesystem directly to find projects it provides. It uses the system index. If a system within a project doesn't build, it is not indexed, and is not found by the system-definition search function Quicklisp adds to ASDF.
I don't know why that system doesn't build, I'll check into it.

You get around the error by loading /cape/cape.asd and before doing (ql:quicklisp :april), or editing the april.asd file to have (load " /cape/cape.asd")
