Description:

The Cinnamon sound applet [implicitly assumes wget is installed](https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/blob/4.8.3/files/usr/share/cinnamon/applets/sound@cinnamon.org/applet.js#L733).

In particular, if wget is not installed, it is unable to properly load some album artwork, notably for Linux Spotify (available from aur: spotify or spotify-dev).

Once confirmed, the fix is simply adding wget as a dependency, although I'm not sure how easy/difficult that is behind the scenes.

Additional info:

* I am running Cinnamon 4.8.3, though this has evidently been happening for quite some time
* I'm using the spotify-dev aur package
* The patch enabling album artwork for Spotify only hit production in 4.8.0, for the record
* And yes, I managed to have a machine that I use every day for development that somehow didn't have wget installed -- I must have orphaned it: I hastily cleaned up orphans earlier today, likely exposing the issue

Steps to reproduce:

* Uninstall wget/temporarily move it to disable
* Play music in spotify -- the album artwork will not load in the applet
* Reinstall wget
* Close and repoen spotify, and play a song -- the album artwork will load
This task depends upon
