Spotify no longer supports Ubuntu 12.04LTS?

Solved!

Spotify no longer supports Ubuntu 12.04LTS?

Seems that Spotify has problems following the LTS paradigm:

sudo apt-get install spotify-client
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 spotify-client : Depends: libudev1 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: libavcodec54 but it is not installable or
                              libavcodec-extra-54 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: libavformat54 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


How to fix this?
