What happens when you try to debug this ?

Ah, there's your problem right there ...

Nah.  How could loading multiple incompatible versions of ASDF cause problems ?

I don't know whether that version of ASDF is in any way implicated; I don't
know what version(s) of ASDF are being loaded in your debian-packaged version
and I can't turn on *LOAD-VERBOSE* for you.

All that I do know is that:

- the version of ASDF bundled with the CCL 1.9-rc1 (2.28) defines

   (defun find-symbol* (name package-designator &optional (error t))

   and code in that version calls FIND-SYMBOL* with 3 arguments

- the version of ASDF that was bundled with CCL-1.8 defines

   (defun find-symbol* (s p)

and something (I don't know what because I can't type :b for you)
is calling a version of ASDF/PACKAGE:FIND-SYMBOL* with 3 args and
that version only accepts 2 arguments.

Nope.  When CCL 1.8 wasn't installed correctly (hint), it couldn't find
the right CCL directory (hint) and often loaded the wrong version of ASDF.

Let's summarize:

1) Make sure that your debian-packaged CCL is able to find its installation
directory ("the CCL directory").

? (truename "ccl:")

will show the physical pathname of that directory.  If it isn't correct,
check your scripts and fix it.

2) If the problem persists, set *load-verbose* to true before doing anything
else.  Pay attention to the full names of files being loaded and try to
note anomalies.

3) If you get the error, type :b at the break loop prompt.  Note the call
history and see if this sheds light on the problem.

4) If you still don't understand what's going on and have to ask someone else
for help, include that backtrace output in any request for help.
