I'm trying to install the Spotify client on Ubuntu, and I'm fairly new to Linux, so I can't figure out how to resolve this error message that I keep getting:

W: Failed to fetch http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages Something wicked happened resolving 'repository.spotify.com:http' (- 5 - No address associated with hostname)

This error message comes up 3 times (each with a slightly different opening URL) every time I try to run sudo apt-get update. I've looked around the internet for answers, I've changed my DNS, but I can't get past this error message. What am I doing wrong?

Spelling mistake. :)

http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stabel/

should be:

http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/

You can actually test this in your very own web browser afterwards.

  • My debugging advice still stands: test the URLs in your browser.

  • Okay, I did, and they aren't showing up. These are the three URLs attached to the error: repsitory.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/… repsitory.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/i18n/… repsitory.spotify.com/dists/stable/non-free/i18n/Translation-en Firefox tells me it can't find the server at repository.spotify.com, but I can access it directly
