That's the entire defsystem. But it's inside the file https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/cmucl/cmucl/blob/master/tests/pcl.lisp
The entire error message (sorry for not including it earlier): Error while trying to load definition for system pcl-test from pathname /Volumes/share2/src/clnet/cmucl/snapshot-2017-10/tests/pcl.lisp: Circular dependency: ((#<ASDF/FIND-SYSTEM:DEFINE-OP> . #<ASDF/SYSTEM:SYSTEM "pcl-test">) (#<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:LOAD-OP> . #<ASDF/SYSTEM:SYSTEM "pcl-test">) (#<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:LOAD-OP> . #<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:CL-SOURCE-FILE "pcl-test" "pkg">) (#<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:PREPARE-OP> . #<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:CL-SOURCE-FILE "pcl-test" "pkg">) (#<ASDF/LISP-ACTION:PREPARE-OP> . #<ASDF/SYSTEM:SYSTEM "pcl-test">)) Restarts: 0: [CONTINUE ] Return NIL from load of #P"/Volumes/share2/src/clnet/cmucl/snapshot-2017-10/tests/pcl.lisp". 1: [RETRY ] Retry #<DEFINE-OP> on #<SYSTEM "pcl-test">. 2: [ACCEPT ] Continue, treating #<DEFINE-OP> on #<SYSTEM "pcl-test"> as having been successful. 3: Retry ASDF operation. 4: [CLEAR-CONFIGURATION-AND-RETRY] Retry ASDF operation after resetting the configuration. 5: Retry ASDF operation. 6: Retry ASDF operation after resetting the configuration. 7: Return NIL from load of #P"/Volumes/share2/src/clnet/cmucl/snapshot-2017-10/tests/pcl.lisp". 8: [ABORT ] Skip remaining initializations. The file gets loaded from tests/run-tests.lisp I guess maybe that defsystem should be in its own file that pcl.lisp loads? I have a vague memory that you helped fix some similar issues with some asdf defsystems that I had, that were working fine but stopped working after some upgrade, maybe to 3.2.x.
