What can I do to fix this?

Look at the comments of the AUR: AUR (en) - spotify

Hi,

install spotify as normal user don’t use root
pamac build spotify

You get a failed to build
start the command again pamac build spotify
You will see a key message and install it.

adjust launcher

spotify --uri=%U --password-store=basic
sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac-build-$<user>/spotify/

install spotify as normal user don’t use root

There is no indication that they did that.

The error is because the file version that the PKGBUILD tries to fetch is not there - the PKGBUILD needs to be adjusted.

Ok i get that; just trying to help out how i usually install spotify.
Suggestion you say the PKGBUILD needs to be adjusted.
Perhaps you can explain how ? Might help the original poster

It’s in the aur comments that @megavolt have to linked for him. Doesn’t look overly complicated

The OP don’t want flatpak or snap, but at the same time he is unwillingly to understand just a simple problem. When using the AUR one should have an idea how PKGBUILDs work. As always the wiki of archlinux explains it.

However… another choice: Install Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and you can install deb packages.

Hi Megavolt,

You are right. I think there’s enough information for the OP. Hope the OP is helped.
