I'm trying to install lisp-stat on my machine using quicklisp. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04. The install fails shortly after getting started with error:
No package named "ALEXANDRIA-2"
Prior to that, I updated quicklisp by calling (ql:update-dist "quicklisp") and I uninstalled and reinstalled Alexandria. I'm running SBCL 2.4.0.
When I run (ql:quickload :lisp-stat), I receive the following stack trace:
No package named "ALEXANDRIA-2"

The problem was caused by another system I had installed in my quicklisp/local-projects directory that came with its own version of alexandria. It turns out that quicklisp was loading this version of alexandria, which did not provide the proper namespaces. So, removing this system out of the local-projects directory enabled quicklisp to load the correct version.
