I installed Lubuntu yesterday and updated it.

Whenever I run sudo apt-get update and afterwards sudo apt-get install spotify (for example), I get E: Impossible to get package "spotify-client" (roughly translated from my native language).

I have used ubuntu before amongst other distros but this is the first time it happened to me. I had the same error while trying to install filezilla and arandr.

Any idea on this one?

  • There is no package called `spotify` or `spotify-client` on the main repos. Filezilla, on the other hand, *is* in the repos. Are you using a PPA? – saiarcot895 Aug 01 '14 at 12:27

There is no spotify client in the official repositories.

However if you are using 14.04 you can add the repository by going

Update manager --> Settings

Select the "Other Software" tab click on add and add this

deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Now you need to add the keys so open a terminal and enter

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59

Enter your password when asked.

Now enter these commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install spotify-client
