Instead of loading Emacs version

GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 222, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.36, 
cairo version 1.16.0) of 2026-08-08

I loaded the Debian testing version

GNU Emacs 30.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.52, 
cairo version 1.18.4) of 2026-06-28, modified by Debian

then tried to install slime-2.32 from both melpa-stable and non-gnu.

Same errors, apparently. So, did something in Emacs 30 cause this?

As a matter of background, I was using Slime up until a couple of years 
ago. I have not had a chance to get back to it until recently.

That said, I will take your suggestion and rebuild from scratch - it has 
been quite a long while.
