Install couchdb for lisp on Debian

// every time you meet PGP signature, skip the checking

// other wise, try to accept the condition, treat it like it is successfully installed (for the example*.lisp, which sounds reasonable to skip)

// I install the package in the system-wide directory

// install debian package: couchdb, lisp package: clouchdb, cl-couchdb
