[SOLVED] Volumio 2.163 : Spotify install issues

Made a clean install from the newest image 2.163
When tried to install Spotify got this message:

[code]100%

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libasound2-dev : Depends: libasound2 (= 1.0.28-1+rpi2)

The following lines have catched my attention:

[code]
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:
libasound2-dev : Depends: libasound2 (= 1.0.28-1+rpi2)[/code]

At the end you can read that the “Plugin Successfully Installed” but that´s not true.
You can put your User and Password but you don´t pass this screen and no sign of Spotify when you open the Browse options.
The only thing I did was changed the default mirror did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade at no avail
Next I tried to install libasound2-dev and got this output:

[code]$sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

At this point I gave up and will be waiting for the experts´ opinions.

Has someone else had this issue?

Just fixed, thanks for reporting

Hi,

Same issue on my RPI3 with fresh install 2.163.

I had to flash an 2.129 release, install et setup spotify pluging and apply a system update (->2.163).

@michelangelo
Thanks for the immediate fix. Returned to the 2.129 version and confirmed the problem was not on my side. Now I have two options, first, do an upgrade and, second, do a clean install.
My dilemma is now my DAC (working great on oldie 2.129) and the new 2.163. With the new version I get problems on getting it working. Will report on my original thread related to this.

Thanks!

Yes let me know what goes wrong and we’ll find a way…

For the sake of research did both.

!. Installed a new 2.163 and it worked flawlessly.
2. Upgraded my old image to the newest and, again, no faults.

Thanks!
