[clisp-list] problems with packages

[Adam <cl...@da...>]

I recently upgraded clisp to 2.27, from FreeBSD ports.  I'm not sure the 
previous version, but the package was dated 2000.03.06.  I'm still 
fairly new to lisp, so I may be missing some basic ideas here.

I'm using le-sursis as an html-generating library, but with the upgrade 
it's failing to work.  Here is the top of sursis-html.lsp:

(in-package 'sursis-html :use 'common-lisp)
(defpackage sursis-html
   (:use common-lisp)
   (:nicknames s-html)
   (:export sa-tag tag http-response html head title body p h1 h2 h3 h4
            h5 h6 b i tt center blockquote pre img br hr a anchor ol ul
            li dl dt dd table tr td comment))

The first error I get is
[22]> (load "sursis-html.lsp")
*** - IN-PACKAGE: argument 'SURSIS-HTML should be a string or a symbol

So I change the first line to
(in-package :sursis-html :use :common-lisp)

Now I get
[23]> (load "sursis-html.lsp")
*** - There is no package with name "SURSIS-HTML"

So I move the in-package below the defpackage.

Now I can load the package, and access it with explicit names, like 
(s-html:head), but I want it in my namespace. For some reason, using the 
symbol works here, but I get a big list of name conflicts:
[24]> (use-package 's-html)
** - Continuable Error
35 name conflicts while executing USE-PACKAGE of (#<PACKAGE 
SURSIS-HTML>) into package #<PACKAGE COMMON-LISP-USER>.
1. Break [25]>
which symbol with name "P" should be accessible in #<PACKAGE 
COMMON-LISP-USER> ?
Please choose:
           1  --  SURSIS-HTML
           2  --  COMMON-LISP-USER
 >>

And so on for all the exported symbols.  But if I choose #2 (or run 
clisp again)
[26]> (p)
*** - EVAL: the function P is undefined
[27]> p
*** - EVAL: variable P has no value

I looked through the changelog, but didn't find anything.  Can someone 
enlighten me?

Thanks
Adam
