Spotify

Hi Guys
Having a few difficulties trying to install spotify on my linux 19.1 . I have followed all types of tutorials but it just wont install, even tried the spotify app that is in software package and that hung . installing manually I get to the end where I use the command of get upadates then I get the message :

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.
 spotify-client : Depends: libcurl3 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Not being too savvy I am at a loss at what this means can someone point me in the right direction please
cheers
Paul

Try manually installing libcurl3

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libcurl3

then try again installing spotify
