The same issue comes when i try building the package using 'makepkg -si'. I tried installing the 'spotify-dev' but faced the same issue.

Can anyone help!

Re: ERROR in installing SPOTIFY using yay

See the AUR comments.  The spotify source has been (re)moved.  Maintainers need to update the PKGBUILDs and / or you need to find the new upstream source yourself.

Re: ERROR in installing SPOTIFY using yay

Okay, I wanted to use the 'spotify-adblock' but it is dependent on 'spotify'. I installed spotify from Flatpak but that didn't resolve the dependency issue for 'spotify-adblock'. Is there any work around for that?

Re: ERROR in installing SPOTIFY using yay

- This does not work with the snap Spotify package.
- This might not work with the Flatpak Spotify package, depending on your system's shared libraries' versions.

You can just remove the dependency from the PKGBUILD to give it a shot (or use pacman's "--assume-installed" flag).  But I'm confused, you are trying to install spotify just so you can use an adblocker for spotify?

Re: ERROR in installing SPOTIFY using yay

No, it makes sense. spotify-adblock has a hard dep on Spotify, which isn't satisfied by spotify-launcher or using flatpak. That was brought up a few days ago on IRC and lead to the current orphan request.

Just an update, the package works fine now.
