Clojure/leiningen cannot find dependencies

Question

I am new to Clojure and Leiningen. Just started working on an existing project. I pull the repo and did the command Lein run. It complained:

"Could not find artifact arctype:service.jose:jar:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT in clojars (https://repo.clojars.org/) Could not transfer artifact arctype:service.jose:jar:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT from/to enonic (https://repo.enonic.com/public/): Failed to transfer file https://repo.enonic.com/public/arctype/service.jose/0.1.0-SNAPSHOT/service.jose-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar with status code 409"

What I proceeded to do, under the assumption that the dependencies are bad, is that I went on repo.clojars.org. Manually looked into the dependencies and changed "[arctype/service.jose "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT" :exclusions [arctype/service]]" in project.clj to "[arctype/service "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT":exclusions [arctype/service]]", because that is what it has on the site. But turns out that "Jose" is not inside of arctype/service, and changing the dependencies like I did removed it, so I have to change it back.

What im really confused about, is that, according to the error message, I went on repo.clojars.org to look for the dependencies I want, "arctype.service.jose" is no where to be found. Not even something close.

I saw the second half error message that mentions repo.enonic.com/public , so I try to look for the dependecy there as well. Same result, nothing. In my project.clj file, the repository is repo.enonic.com/public. I am really confused, can somebody please enlighten me! Thanks in advance!

Im not sure if I provided enough, please let me know!

Most open source projects written in Java publish artifacts on Maven Central, and most Clojure projects publish artifacts on Maven Central or clojars.org. The fact that your error message mentions https://repo.enonic.com/public/ might be because the artifact mentioned in your project.clj file was published on that server, not on clojars.org.

If I go to clojars.org (not repo.clojars.org) there is a nice web interface with a search box, and if I enter "arctype" (without the double quotes) and do a search on that, it finds arctype/service, but not arctype/service.jose, probably because arctype/service.jose was not published on the clojars.org site. Or, if it was, someone decided to remove it. Removing published things is fairly uncommon, so my guess is that if arctype/service.jose ever existed, it might have only been published on the repo.enonic.com site.

Is your project open source? Published on Github.com or a similar site where others can get a copy and try it out? If yes, including that in your question would help others see if they get the same error you do.

If the project you are working with is not open source, then hopefully someone more familiar with the particular errors you are seeing than I am will answer.
