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.
