Based on the apt-get output, it looks like clisp was already installed
(the alternative reason is a very weird bug in apt).
clisp-dev contains an unversioned depends on clisp. Are you sure that
any clisp package that ever existed contains the files that the build
fails on? If not, this is a bug in clisp-dev or mcvs.
