I'm very frustrated, why?
I had spotify app on my 32bit linux. On my second PC (64bit) I've installed spotify. I saw that new designs were made, so decided to upgrade spotify on my 32bit linux. I couldn't upgrade it, so decided to unistall it. Then was trying to install again, hoping that I will see new spotify, and that is what happend:
$ sudo apt-get remove spotify-client Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package spotify-client
Is it because you doesn't support 32bit version?
I was searching solutions on many sites and here in community, nothing found.
Hi, and welcome to the community!
That is correct, unfortunately Spotify doesn't support 32 bit Linux as far as I'm aware.

So it could be a reason that that package couldn't be locate?

From memory yes. Someone had the same issue a while back, and it was beacuse they were on a 32bit system.

All is not lost. If you have a local copy of the 32Bit .deb, you can use this to install on your new machine. I have recently upgraded to Debian Jessie (32Bit) and have spotify running. There are a few dependeny problems you have to fix but here's what I did.
From your machine that has Spotify already installed, have a look in /var/cache/apt/archives and you should have the Spotify .deb. Copy this to you new machine and install with
dpkg -i spotify-client_1%3a0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-1_i386.deb
This will throw up an error about missing dependencies, next run
apt-get -f install
Then you you will need to manually install libssl0.9.8, you can download it here.
dpkg -i libssl0.9.8
dpkg -i spotify-client_1%3a0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-1_i386.deb
Of course, if you are running a different distribution you may need to modify these command a little.

The stable channel has had both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the spotify-client package for a few months now and it should work with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Did you follow the instructions on this page?

hi, I followed those instructions but the message keeps coming up. I also searched for the package itself on the internet to download it through dpkg. But I couldn't find it. Hopefully someone is able to help me out!
