My Question or Issue

Debian / Ubuntu Install:

You will first need to configure our debian repository:

curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add - 
echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

Then you can install the Spotify client:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Result of apt udpate:

 

W: The repository 'http://repository.spotify.com stable Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
E: Failed to fetch http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages 403 Forbidden
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have followed and tried to fix it a few times. 

the basics of the fix are on this page:

 

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Expired-Key-Signature/td-p/4534638

 

Either way, no matter what i've tried. I keep getting the error that:

The repository 'http://repository.spotify.com stable Release' does not have a Release file.

 

So whats going on ? lol. >

Are you behind a filtering proxy? What do you see for the following:

​​curl -I http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages

Is it reproducibly "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden"? My output is

nobody@bc4480a6d3f7:/$ curl -I http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages
