Can't install spotify package

I just installed EOS and I’m trying to install spotify with yay -S spotify.

I tried git cloning it instead and doing makepkg -si and it throws the same error:

error making: spotify

There is an issue with chmod in the coreutils package.

You have a few options:

  • Install the version of coreutils that is currently in testing
  • Downgrade coreutils, build spotify, then upgrade coreutils again
  • Wait for the fixed version of coreutils to leave testing.

I downgraded the package from the archive, this worked, thank you.

I am running the latest coreutils after installing and everything seems fine.
