I was trying to install Hunchentoot. Needing to install the
dependencies first, I tried using asdf-install. After asdf-install
downloads what it wants and passes the GPG test, I get a condition
like this:
component "rfc2388" not found
This happens when I'm trying to install rfc2388. Trying to install
other dependencies also result in similar conditions, that is the
component cannot be found. Surely it cannot be found, I'm just trying
to install it after all!
Am I doing something wrong here?

Hard to say as you're not providing much information. Which Lisp do
you use? Which OS are you on? Which version/release of ASDF-INSTALL
are you using? What commands did you invoke exactly and which
messages did you get? Can you provide a backtrace from the error
message above?
You might get better answers on the mailing list, BTW:

Cheers,
Edi.

I ran into a similar issue with asdf-install of hunchentoot and drakma
on sbcl. As I recall, one of the sub-component installs breaks because
that sub-component cannot find another sub-component that it needs (md5
in my case).
In any event, the thing to do is to look very carefully over the recent
output generated by asdf-install. In there will probably be a reference
to some *other* system which is not found. As I say, in my case it was
md5. At that break simply do:
(asdf-install:install :other-missing-system)
when that completes, select the restart that looks for the system again
(as it will now find it) and all should be well.
Thank you for your replies. I finally did something else: I used asdf-
install to install Hunchentoot itself! I don't know why I didn't try
that first. Anyhow, thanks.
