This looks like my attempt to work around the libcurl4 incompatibility problem failed.

 

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/libcurl4/td-p/4411011

 

Well as you say I see that as a dangerous work around because I am not aware which softare on my os is relying on libcurl4 with libcurl4 interface. There will be dragons!

In case someone runs into the same problem I got rid of the message by deleting .pki folder in my home directory. Spotify still does not start then but at least I am another step closer to a solution.
