bug#73432: clojure package is broken

[Kristiyan Kanchev]

Hello Roman,

What do you mean that you're getting the same error? Getting the same 
error with Guix Clojure or with Nix Clojure? Metabase or the test 
project by Andreas?

I'm fairly confident that the problem is not caused by the S3 transport 
because alot of transitive dependencies are missing from the class-path 
that are not related to these libraries you cited. I was investigating 
the reported class-path from within Clojure with 
https://github.com/clojure/java.classpath, which is also dependency for 
Metabase, so you could try it in a nREPL session.

I'm currently trying to  maven-resolver-provider from 3.9 to 3.8 and 
will report results, hopefully soon -- I'm new to Guix and need some 
more time. If it works out, I'll try to push patches.

Thanks,
Kriss
