cannot download packages from elpa

[Daniel Sutton]

The tests for CIDER have been failing because it cannot get queue and spinner from elpa.

https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/queue.html seems to be up but https://quitter.im/fsfstatus has no information about the status.

Runnings tests on CircleCI (and locally with cask install) yields:

```

I've tried to check the normal avenues for status but they are down. I'm confused why https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ seems to be up but the packages are not able to be downloaded. It looks like the tests have been failing due to package resolution for at least 11 days.
