I am currently running SBCL with quicklisp. I found an old project that I was trying to load with

   (ql:quickload "project")

when I get the dependency error SYSTEM FILE-IO NOT FOUND. The dependencies in my project.asd file are

   :depends-on (#:file-io #:cl-ppcre #:logv #:cl-mustache #:local-time
           #:rutils #:alexandria)

None of the other dependencies give me any trouble, logv seems to be a discontinued log viewer, but I can't find anything concerning "file-io" in https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/releases.html. Is it just another discontinued library? Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.

The code provided by file-io only deals with slurping and spitting files. You can safely download the system from github and install it in Quicklisp's "local-projects" directory. Alternatively, you can use UIOP equivalent functions, which are well supported and available in most distributions.
