Always get offline mode of spotify on my DDE, when i launched from console, i got this

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/home/kowalski/.gtkrc-2.0:1: error: invalid keyword 'font_name', expected valid keyword - e.g. `style'
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)

Anyway, thanks for your work.

For those interested, Spotify has released a "snap" package [1] [2]

I'm getting these errors on spotify startup. I've installed libidn2 but it hasn't changed anything.

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)

Trying to launch spotify, i got the following error message

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)

Fixed with:

sudo pacman -S libidn2

editing the pkgbuild with the following version and checksum works

pkgname=spotify pkgver=1.0.69.336 _anotherpkgver=.g7edcc575 _amd64_pkgrel=39 _i386_pkgrel=39 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A proprietary music streaming service" arch=('x86_64' 'i686') license=('custom:"Copyright (c) 2006-2010 Spotify Ltd"') url="http://www.spotify.com" options=('!strip' '!upx')

@rabbitranger @sohakes @sepf @SeerUK

Having the same issue as you guys. It will sporadically seem to start working, but it's upon hitting a button on another song and such that will break it once again.

I haven't found a way to coax it into working properly again yet even when restarting the application and whatnot.

What DE and such are you guys using?

I've managed to patch libcurl-openssl-1.0 to get spotify to work around the CURL_OPENSSL_3 symbol versioning issue. Here are the patches I've used:

Could 'we workaround the following issue: /usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)

@sohakes @sepf @SeerUK Just randomly started experiencing the same issue. UI locks up when changing songs, takes about 30 seconds to respond.

just installed the package, invoking the app from command line gives "/usr/share/spotify/spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libidn2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Maybe a dependency is missing?
