This is probably why I couldn't manage emacs-cider to require emacs-spinner and emacs-queue. They both are packaged with uncompressed-file-fetch.
In fact queue and spinner work if I installl them on their own. After I attempt with cider, they not only are not requirable but they are also not autoloaded anymore. So now I'll try stick with more tested download methods and see if cider works with those.
