When enabling the new package-quickstart feature SLIME or SLY fail to load with the following message:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Cannot open load file" "No such file or directory" "sly")
  #<subr autoload-do-load>((autoload "sly" "Start a Lisp implementation and connect to it.\n\n  ..." t nil) sly nil)
  apply(#<subr autoload-do-load> ((autoload "sly" "Start a Lisp implementation and connect to it.\n\n  ..." t nil) sly))
  autoload-do-load((autoload "sly" "Start a Lisp implementation and connect to it.\n\n  ..." t nil) sly)
  command-execute(sly)

Disabling this feature allows SLIME or SLY to start normally again.
Tested on GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5) of 2019-02-10

So, IIUC the startup doesn't signal an error (hence appears to proceed
correctly) and the problem only appears when you later do `M-x sly` (or
equivalent)?

The above error suggests that the underlying problem may be that the
quickstart file failed to add the relevant directory to `load-path`.

I'll take a look at it.
In case it's relevant, could you say where you got those packages from?

Correct, no errors at startup only when starting with `M-x sly`. Both
packages were installed from MELPA:

(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
