What are you trying to do install or update?

3

Update the current version of Spotify.

Seems you’re trying this through the welcome app. Run the below command and post the output, please.

pacman -Qi yay

had the same issue…

I followed the instructions in this post on the AUR page to fix it…
(don’t forget to click on ‘show more’ to see full instructions :wink: )

So it’s a gpg key issue?

7

over here it was anyways…
seems like the pkgbuild was updated since then…

(seems it didn’t help though :sweat_smile:)

8

:rofl: yeah seems like it. I was just worried about this.

Thanks for your help, people. I updated the key using the instructions at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify/?O=30&PP=10#comment-839009 and now it builds correctly.

Thanks again.

This is right on the webpage for spotify in the AUR.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify

Spotify was flagged out of date recently. I just installed it today with no issues as it’s updated now.

Another way of installing it is to bypass the key check on build if it’s outdated.

yay -S --mflags --skipinteg spotify
