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.

Yeah, I suppose that's a good point, it would be possible to make a separate package that provides the .so file, the override wrapper script, and the override systemd unit file.

Regarding incompatibility with non-EXT4 filesystems: I don't think using existing "patches" [1][2] requires modifications to this package. Propose your modified PKGBUILD if you believe so.

Would you include this patch to allow it running on other fs ?

@netlexer: Thanks for notifying me. That should have been fixed.

Did a newer version briefly become available via the AUR and then reverted? Yay, my package manager states:

dropbox: local (63.4.100-1) is newer than AUR (62.4.103-1)

which I don't think I've seen before. And if so why?

Is it OK to keep this newer version?

@InvisibleRasta: it looks like a wrapper script calling the actual binary. There's nothing to do with this package.

@ncage: Awesome!

@InvisibleRasta: which patch did you refer? If the one mentioned by @alex.forencich - it's reported to be broken, and it patches the dropbox-cli package, not this one.

ncage commented on 2018-12-01 00:01 (UTC)

@yan1212 thanks for the reply. After much research i found out its actually a dropbox/gnome issue. It has been broken since gnome 3.28. I spelled out the details at: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installation-and-desktop-app/Latest-Dropbox-Client-for-Linux-is-broken-for-the-latest-version/m-p/314765#M57918
