Since version 2024.04.17-1 dropbox-cli is built from the nautilus-dropbox source as currently the dropbox.py source file is not aligned with the latest release in https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/

Went ahead and updated this to the latest version since I had some spare time. Not too interested in maintaining it though as I don't use Dropbox. If I see it out of date I will probably bump it but no guarantees

For those looking for a PKGBUILD

@frealgagu, please fix it in the PKGBUILD.

I have cleared the yay cache and also ran @zaiheshi's command but the validation of the .py file still fails.

Deleting the cache directory (see @zaiheshi comment) worked for me to fix the repeated validity check errors.

I think we're running in the validity check problem again:

dropbox-cli-2020.03.04.py ... FAILED
dropboxd-fallback.patch ... Passed

I think issues are caused by mirrors and DNS, they could be causing that file is not refreshed everywhere and checksums are invalid.

I maintain the latest version of package and .py here

@asakurahao Installed today without hitches, I waited instead of looking for a workaround.

I use yay and after "yay -Sc" (cache cleaning) this error ("dropbox-cli-2020.03.04.py ... FAILED") was gone.
