Test case:

1. Open a terminal and run SBCL (for REPL)
2. type (require 'asdf)
3. type (require 'asdf-install)
4. type (asdf-install:install :cl-html-parse) ;; or any package

Expected:

Installation proceeds automatically to conclusion with no errors

Results:

Hit an error saying :"The function ASDF::SPLIT is undefined," with restarts for SKIP-GPG-CHECK and ABORT.

Details:

I'm using ASDF-INSTALL to install a package into my environment, and every time I do on 1.0.40 (Mac OS X Snow Leopard, FWIW), I receive this error. There is a restart on the stack to "skip gpg check," so I often just choose that restart and continue--package installation proceeds fine.

After reviewing the code, it appears that in 1.0.40, the file contrib/asdf-install/installer.lisp still refers to asdf::split @ line 203, but contrib/asdf/asdf.lisp contains no such function. That function did appear in asdf.lisp for 1.0.39, but appears to have been replaced in 1.0.40 by asdf::split-string. However, given that I'm hitting this error, it would appear that installer.lisp was not updated with this change.

That I'm getting a "skip gpg check" restart is simply because verify-gpg-signature/url is called @ line 180 of installer.lisp, and it's wrapped in a general restart-case--so even though the issue has nothing to do with GPG, that restart catches any error that happens on the code path.

Hope the above helps!
