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.

There's a problem with Dropbox and “AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support”. As mentioned in https://www.lorenzobettini.it/2022/05/dropbox-and-gnome-42/ replace that extension with "Tray Icons reloaded": https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2890/tray-icons-reloaded/

endeavourOS, GNOME Version: 42.3, wayland dropbox icon in system tray is not clickable. any workaround?

Dropbox cannot work properly on Gnome 42. The icon on the top bar is not clickable so the preferences cannot be managed.

Update to the latest version of dropbox has failed. dropbox 135.4.4221-1 (131.4.3968-1) AUR

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... dropbox-lnx.x86_64-135.4.4221.tar.gz ... cat: write error: Broken pipe FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

The key has already been imported when dropbox was first installed. Therefore trying to re-add it doesn't change anything.

wget https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc

gpg --import ~/Downloads/rpm-public-key.asc  ✔ gpg: key FC918B335044912E: "Dropbox Automatic Signing Key linux@dropbox.com" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1

FIXED: Sorry, my mistake, I was trying to build w/ sudo. Ran again as normal user and problem solved.

@mtorromeo: Could you add the argument -f to the gendesk so that previous .desktop files are overwritten? That solves @jfly's problem.

jfly commented on 2021-11-30 02:49 (UTC) (edited on 2021-11-30 02:51 (UTC) by jfly)

Anyone else seeing this error when installing?

==> Starting prepare()...
[dropbox]                         Generating desktop file... no
dropbox.desktop already exists. Use -f as the first argument to overwrite it.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

I've worked around this for now by commenting out the prepare block.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't look back in the history! I see this was mentioned way back in 2020: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox/?O=20&PP=10#comment-754071

@acyment: The dropbox-lnx.x86_64-130.4.4978.tar.gz file didn't pass the validity check. Try pulling the AUR repo again, run makepkg again, see if that works. If not, run makepkg --geninteg and compare the sha256sums with the ones in the PKGBUILD.
