gentoo temporary ebuild fix for spotify

at time of writing, spotify (in this particular repo) was at version spotify-client-qt_0.6.2.291.gcccc1f5.116-1_amd64.deb & i386.deb

so after installing the piczu overlay to install spotify on my machine i noticed that it was not finding the appropriate file in the proper repo uri (http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify).

it was searching for $REPO_URI/spotify-client-qt-ver.ga662380-1_i386.deb

here is the ebuild (spotify-0.4.6.73.ebuild) as provided by piczu’s overlay:

    dodir /usr/share/spotify

I also removed the existing manifest and the old ebuilds and just generated a new one from this ebuild file.
this ebuild file was named spotify-0.6.2.291.ebuild to match the version that is in the repo.
the manifest file was created by running ebuild spotify-0.6.2.291.ebuild manifest

• I also tried to write my own ebuild file but both mine and your version fails when trying to unpack the .deb file with the message:
