[Solved] Spotify

bodam

I cannot seem to install Spotify on my system.   The instructions from their website is as follows:

Debian
# 1. Add this line to your list of repositories by
#    editing your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

# 2. If you want to verify the downloaded packages,
#    you will need to add our public key
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59

# 3. Run apt-get update
sudo apt-get update

# 4. Install spotify!
sudo apt-get install spotify-client


When I get to the last step I get the messages below.  Any suggestions?

bodam@bodam-vsido:~$ sudo apt-get install spotify-client

According to this link you have to add the debian stable sources just long enough to get libssl-0.9.8 while installing Spotify.

libssl-0.9.8 is no longer available in Testing or Sid

I would add stable, do a apt-get update, install Spotify the same way and then remove stable from sources.

Hey...that did it.  I had to fiddle with the sources line a little bit from what's in the article but Spotify is now installed.  Thanks
