Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_6224F9941A8AA6D1.gpg  | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
pkgctl build
pacman -U <path-to-spotify-package>

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, gpg keys etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

@lightofpast Just pushed v1:1.2.20.1210-2 that now allows you to set custom launch flags in a spotify-flags.conf file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config :)

can the maintainer update the checksum? it has been more than a week now.

luisalcarasr commented on 2023-04-02 01:34 (UTC)

If you want to skip the checksums, add the --noextract flag to makepkg, for example: yay -Syu --mflags --noextract spotify. This is not a recommendation, do it at your own risk, checksums have their reason for existing.

I'm getting this error when trying to build.

I've removed the downloaded files and tried installing it again, but still get this error.

spotify-1.1.84.716-gc5f8b819-2-x86_64.deb: FAILED sha512sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

For other people that have issues with the checksums, check them manually and remove the whole prepare section from the PKGBUILD and done.

fixed by switching back to stable, see:

NicoHood commented on 2023-03-03 07:11 (UTC)

I've corrected the package now to build correct in a clean chroot.

Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first: curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_7A3A762FAFD4A51F.gpg | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools base-devel
extra-x86_64-build

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, gpg keys etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

Edit: This solution doesn't actually solve the problem, so never mind.

Big_Tea commented on 2023-02-14 09:15 (UTC)

Given that the key expired again recently, might be useful to re-add the comment about fixing the gpg key issue:

curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_7A3A762FAFD4A51F.gpg | gpg --import -
