Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_C85668DF69375001.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 :)

I managed to install heading to .cache/yay/spotify, and running:

makepkg --syncdeps --noprepare --install

hint: I used to skip package() with --noprepare

as I had error ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting...

it works, and installs, all I could care

@wunsz
You are using the --noextract while installing. This prevents the program from actually extracting source files that are needed for the installation. I updated my comment so you can see what I did.

Since the checksums seem to always be outdated I just installed Spotify ignoring the checksums. Keep in mind, this is not an actual fix, this just ignores the problem.
First I did a regular install with yay -S spotify.
In .cache/yay/spotify I ran makepkg --noextract --syncdeps --install.
Hope this helps.

After importing the new gpg public key (pubkey_7A3A762FAFD4A51F.gpg), spotify-1.2.8.923-1-Release's gpg signature fails to be verified. In my keyring the gpg key is shown as uid [unknown] Spotify Public Repository Signing Key <tux@spotify.com>. Am i missing something?

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.
