Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."

gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:

gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of gpg -k. You should find something like this:

pub   rsa2048 2010-02-11 [SC]
      1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E
uid           [ unknown] Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

@matt_head : all you have to do is edit PKGBUILD and replace "root.root" by "root:root".

It is a quote from the website, it seems it has been removed now, but you can still see it in google results https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=Secure+backup%2C+sync+and+sharing+made+easy&lr=&qscrl=1

Tomato commented on 2011-06-29 19:24 (UTC)

I'd say that "Secure" in the package summary is a bit daft in light of latest revelations...

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-06-15 12:11 (UTC)

Ahh yep, thats what I did. I have only been new to this and every time it seems I've looked in the tarball it's just the PKGBUILD file so I figured it would be alright. Sorry, that was my fault. Thanks for the script btw!

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-06-14 01:22 (UTC)

@chrisportela Works here. You need to D/L the entire Tarball and extract. I got a feeling you just D/L the PKGBUILD. That IS the error you would get (it 1st to be sourced that is not downloadable.) Be sure to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines if you've not already done so.

Fails trying to find dropbox.png

mtorromeo commented on 2011-05-30 07:13 (UTC)

@Vladimiroff: seems like an upstream bug. I don't use selective sync so I never ran into this. @ngoonee: the link is https:// because of a previous request. I don't really care which one to use, but I cannot satisfy both requests so just change the link in the PKGBUILD. @NobodySpecial: thanks!

vladimiroff commented on 2011-05-29 22:56 (UTC)

Segmentation fault on trying to sync selective folders, only.

ngoonee commented on 2011-05-29 22:23 (UTC)

Request: could the download link be http:// rather than https://? Works fine here, and the https link somehow never seems to get started. Even better, my university blocks some https links =).

NobodySpecial commented on 2011-05-29 15:35 (UTC)

mtorromeo - no need to apologize, we appreciate your help!
