I don't assume that repositories are never broken. I don't have a good
system in place to do pre-release testing beyond "Does it build?" I'd
like to do more thorough testing, but setting up the infrastructure for
it takes time.

The easiest short-term fix is something like:

  cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects
  git clone https://github.com/marijnh/Postmodern.git

Another option is to go back to the previous dist via the instructions
in http://blog.quicklisp.org/2011/08/going-back-in-dist-time.html.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The fixed dist will be available in
early February.
