@andrea.crotti My guess is that your problem is related to https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/3272

@benjamin.schwerdtner ^^

> as a side note, what's the easy way to use cider from source with use-package? @andrea.crotti I do this from time to time https://emacsredux.com/blog/2015/05/10/building-melpa-packages-locally/

yeah but I have some extra complications like the fact that I have to use elpa-mirror (since I can't access directly the various repositories)

but well for now I just pinned to 1.5.0

which solves all the issues I had so far
