Suddenly can't open spotify on nixos

Help

I can’t open it normally, and here’s what happens when I try to open it in the terminal:

/run/current-system/sw/bin/spotify: /nix/store/h9fak9ir0g4b71smh02664ym7mr3nlif-curl-8.4.0/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /run/current-system/sw/bin/spotify)

Could you open an issue on Github and ping the maintainers of the package? That’s a better place to track packaging issues.

I’d also recommend you try a first-parent bisect between the last known revision of Nixpkgs where Spotify worked for you and the current one.

I have a very similar issue. Did you ever fix it? For me I get the following error: /run/current-system/sw/bin/spotify: /nix/store/8fc7nhir5bjswznxff7mkkl0xra9vx2h-curl-8.7.1/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /run/current-system/sw/bin/spotify) /nix/store/zxmmg5gm5rb0nvnhnbx7vqzjd1ihaiq3-spotify-1.2.31.1205.g4d59ad7c/share/spotify/.spotify-wrapped: /nix/store/8fc7nhir5bjswznxff7mkkl0xra9vx2h-curl-8.7.1/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /nix/store/zxmmg5gm5rb0nvnhnbx7vqzjd1ihaiq3-spotify-1.2.31.1205.g4d59ad7c/share/spotify/.spotify-wrapped) /nix/store/zxmmg5gm5rb0nvnhnbx7vqzjd1ihaiq3-spotify-1.2.31.1205.g4d59ad7c/share/spotify/.spotify-wrapped: /nix/store/8fc7nhir5bjswznxff7mkkl0xra9vx2h-curl-8.7.1/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /nix/store/zxmmg5gm5rb0nvnhnbx7vqzjd1ihaiq3-spotify-1.2.31.1205.g4d59ad7c/share/spotify/.spotify-wrapped)

I have the exact same issue and error message, did you fix it and do you remember how?

EDIT: clearing the cache worked, can do so by running the following rm -rf ~/.cache/spotify
