I have updated Ubuntu to the last version (15.04), but now I am not able to open Spotify. When I ran spotify in a terminal, I found that a library (libgcrypt.so.11) was missed.

open it in terminal, just type spotify and press enter. Then you will see the error, paste it in your main post. – We are Borg Apr 28 '15 at 15:42

Yes I have done exactly what you suggested. I found that a library (libgcrypt.so.11) was missed. – lmiguelvargasf Apr 28 '15 at 15:44

Good. Have fun with linux. You can install the library by checking out its name and in terminal, type, sudo apt-get libraryname – We are Borg Apr 28 '15 at 15:47

1you can also search for the library name by dpkg --search libgcrypt.so.11 – We are Borg Apr 28 '15 at 15:47

Try reinstalling. Use sudo apt-get install --reinstall spotify. I hope I helped! – It's Willem Apr 28 '15 at 17:47

I found the solution here:
Spotify
It turns out that I had to install the library libgcrypt.so.11, which is located in the package libgcrypt11:
sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11

Installing old security libraries (libgcrypt.so.11) is not recommended. This version runs fine with Ubuntu 15-10: http://repository-origin.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/ – Ohto Nordberg Feb 05 '16 at 18:19
