@fsutil I have the same problem. I've just installed the latest version from AUR for first time (not an upgrade) and after I start the application I get the following errors in the console:

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify) /usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify) /proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe) [0622/123903.951302:ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(1029)] Lost UI shared context. [0622/123904.003641:ERROR:service_manager_context.cc(252)] Attempting to run unsupported native service: /usr/share/spotify/content_renderer.service [0622/123909.589536:ERROR:web_plugin_impl.cc(38)] Widevine registration is not supported after context initialization

The application starts despite the errors - a window appears on screen but the windows is empty (dark blank) and now controls or login buttons are available. I've already allied the fix for libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0 but it seems I am facing another issue (just like you did) with libcurl-gnutls.so.4

Anyone faced this? Pleace, advice! Thanks!

Is someone else having problems when adding a source to listen local music? I press the button but it has no effects.

EDIT

After the last upgrading, i can open spotify, it works very well. But I have same output on command line.

@alexx

Thank you for your answer.

I've tried your solution. libcurl.so.3 issue has gone but problem is not solved.

$ spotify

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)

I have this in /usr/lib

$ ls -l libcurl*

libcurl-gnutls.so.3 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.0.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.1.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.2.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.3.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.4.0 -> libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl-gnutls.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so -> libcurl.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so.3 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0
libcurl.so.4.5.0

@fsutil For "ERROR: ld.so: object 'libcurl.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored."

$ cd /usr/lib

$ ls -l libcur*

You have something like:

libcurl.so -> libcurl.so.4.5.0

libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.5.0

libcurl.so.4.5.0

Then, create a symlink for libcurl.so.4.5.0 named libcurl.so.3:

ln -s libcurl.so.4.5.0 libcurl.so.3

or

ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.5.0 /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3

About "libcurl-gnutls.so.4" error, I have no idea.

It shows a blank window. What should i do ?

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libcurl.so.3' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)

@emvigo, the AUR is used by other Arch based distros, e.g. ArchLinux32 at https://archlinux32.org/.

Hi! First, thanks for packaging this! :) Just a question: Do we really need all that code for i686, considering that Arch doesn't support 32 bits architectures any longer? Cheers!

While trying to update to the build for the very latest version, I'm getting the below FYI

The upx option was removed from makepkg and it's causing this package to fail building. I think removing upx from options should fix the issue
