My Question or Issue
I installed flatpak via apt-get and I added the repo
flatpak remote-add –if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
After rebooting my laptop, I tried to install the 32-bit Flakpak for the Spotify client without success.
I get the following error. Looks like there is a problem with the 32-bit Spotify Flatpak file. Any ideas on how to get it fixed?

I forgot to mention that was trying to install the 32-bit version of the Spotify Flatpak on my 32-bit laptop. I added this info to my original post.
Same issue here on 64 bit system. I'm working on a setup script that installs the spotify flatpak, among other things. Was working fine as of Friday, but today I'm getting the same error. Tried installing manually on terminal 3-4 times, same result every time.
My script also installs 3 other flatpaks (signal, telegram, discord) which are working without issue, so the problem seems to be isolated to Spotify's repo server.
vm@vm:~$ sudo flatpak install -y flathub com.spotify.Client

Unfortunately the repository-origin issue [1] (now?) propagates to cloudfront. When a cloudfront download (repository.spotify.com) uses a backend that has a cache miss for the deb file, it will try to fetch it from repository-origin.spotify.com which still shows the premature transfer close phenomenon.
In my tests, two things seem to be the case:
- a cloudfront cache is not going to be filled by partial downloads.
- repository-origin will prematurely close if the download is not fast enough.
This means that cloudfront regions close to the repository-origin of their region (repository-origin is googleusercontent and thus probably anycast) are more likely to get their caches filled.
