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.

Why libappindicator-gtk3 for plasma? Plasma supports the StatusNotifer spec out of the box and dropbox is no GTK app.

Thank you for your time. Grat job.

@acdw: as a hacky workaround you can modify PKGBUILD and add the specified flag (-f) to the gendesk command in the prepare() function.

Morganamilo commented on 2019-04-11 20:36 (UTC)

mksrcinfo is old and defunct but still being used on this package. This means some fields like pgp keys don't show up in the srcinfo even though they should.

Please use makepkg --printsrcinfo instead.

I get the following error when trying to install:

dropbox.desktop already exists. Use -f as the first argument to gendesk to overwrite.

It's during the prepare() stage of installation. It aborts the install.

Thanks, now it works :).

Download issue fixed

Here you have my forked package as I said before:

https://github.com/figue/aur/tree/master/dropbox-latest

The other one is not maintained by me.
