Answer 1

I think it's still common that projects have broken dependencies. It's unfortunate, because it really mars the experience.

My solution is to go onto http://clojars.org and search for the library I need. Usually there are a few versions. I do a little research on http://github.com to see which one is most up to date. Then I try that one as a dependency. If it works, great! Otherwise, I try another one.

It's a long process, but I think it is getting better. You should have seen the process before!
