How to get the native version of Spotify running?

I'm having trouble installing the Spotify Linux preview.

I'm kinda new to Ubuntu so I'm not sure if I did something wrong.

First, in the terminal, I ran this:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

At the bottom, I added this:

deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
# deb-src http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

Then I ran this:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E9CFF4E

Next:

sudo apt-get update

It seemed to have gone well, as there were no error messages.

So next, I ran this:

sudo apt-get install spotify-client-qt

But when I did, I got this:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 spotify-client-qt : Depends: spotify-client but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Any ideas?

Edit

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, and yes, I had the same error message the user had in that question:

Failed to fetch http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/Release Unable to find expected entry non-free/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I added the # before the second line (which wasn't there) and I no longer received that error message.

Also, in reply to Bahaïka's comment, I ran that command (sudo apt-get install spotify-client) and I got the following:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 spotify-client : Depends: libqt4-webkit (>= 4.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libssl0.9.8 but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: libavcodec53 but it is not going to be installed or
                          libavcodec52 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: libavformat53 but it is not going to be installed or
                              libavformat52 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

The good package is called only "spotify-client" you can remove the "qt" part.

sudo apt-get install spotify-client

As you can see at this ouput, the QT one was a transitional package : 

$ apt-cache search spotify-client
spotify-client - Spotify desktop client
spotify-client-gnome-support - Transitional package for spotify-client
spotify-client-qt - Transitional package for spotify-client

EDIT

According to this : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libqt4-webkit You'll have to enable the universe repository. Go into the software source and activate it.

This is what there is inside my /etc/apt/sources.list :

## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
