New Spotify Update - Issues On Wheezy

[cryptid]

Hi guys. I recently upgraded my Spotify to the latest (0.9.10) however now I'm running into an issue. When attempting to launch Spotify, I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by spotify)
spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/spotify/spotify-client/Data/libcef.so)
spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /opt/spotify/spotify-client/Data/libcef.so)

After Googling this, I found many, many results that others were experiencing (with other applications) but no real solution to the problem. It appears that I simply need to update GLIBC. So after performing an entire system upgrade (though I didn't really want to) the problem still exists.

I'm not sure what all I can provide right now to help in assisting with this problem, however I did see someone in another thread request this information, so I'll post it here:

gcc --version output:

Code: Select all

gcc (Debian 4.7.2-5) 4.7.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wheezy has 2.13 - an, no, you can't just upgrade it.

You need a different OS (or perhaps you could use the same trick as the ghostsquad "steam for wheezy" package).

The safest is probably to downgrade;

or use the Spotify web player;

I am running Spotify version 0.9.11.26.g995ec043 on Wheezy. I unpacked libc6 from Jessie to a subdir and edited spotify's executables to point there. Specifically:

1) install spotify-client package
2) download Jessie's libc6_2.19-4_amd64.deb and patchelf_0.8-2_amd64.deb from packages.debian.org
3) Run the following script (as root) like this:

install-spotify-libc.sh libc6_2.19-4_amd64.deb patchelf_0.8-2_amd64.deb

It unpacks Jessie's libc to /usr/local/bin/spotify-libc.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

LIBC_DIR=/usr/local/bin/spotify-libc

if [ $# != 2 ]; then
    echo "Usage: `basename $0` libc.deb patchelf.deb" >&2
    exit 1
