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.

Seems like i686 package is no longer available, and that broke my procedure to update checksums.

The package should work now.

@username227 Did you figure out the issue of curl returning 403? I compared my {pacman,makepkg}.conf files and even list of keys from pacman-key output (assuming key error), and both base and chroot versions are same. So I am just as clueless.

UPDATE: Never mind. I wasn't paying close attention to the URL which was returning 403 error. So as it happens, when doing makepkg -g it tries to download all sources, including those not for current architecture, despite current arch explicitly set in makepkg.conf. The reason why makechrootpkg or just makepkg was succeeding was because it was only downloading source for current arch. I had to comment out the *_i686 arrays.

@Richardk2n, you beat me to this comment. But a strange thing happened while I was trying to generate the new shasums - when I tried to run makepkg, it said that there was a 403 error from the source. When I tried to build in a chroot using "SKIP' instead of the shasums, though, it downloaded just fine. Never experienced anything like that before.

@armadillo @mtorromeo forgot to update the SHA256. New one is ec2ee411a295ab1f559243ad267899f7b4b7405d97641374909ab0fd4b310fd0 for sha256sums_x86_64

dropbox 210.4.4854-1 fails to build at present:

@cyclic3 same issue as @rosenberg. Clearing ~/.dropbox-dist doesn't help. Qtile/wayland (worked with previous versions).

cyclic3 commented on 2024-10-09 19:25 (UTC)

@rosenberg, I had the same issue, and the solution here worked for me: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/198782/why-does-dropbox-say-killed-on-arch-linux

Basically, just nuke the ~/.dropbox-dist/ dir. I had to log in again to dropbox, and then everything started syncing again, although the folder has not come back :/

fierycloud commented on 2024-09-28 19:44 (UTC)

@rosenberg assuming you're using gnome, have you tried installing and enabling AppIndicator (gnome-shell-extension-appindicator) I had that problem and it fixed things for me.

Hello,it doesn't work for me anymore, it gets killed for no apparent reason

It used to work
