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.

Trying to install the latest update I get "package missing required signature"

Anyone have an idea how to resolve that?

gpg -k returns the correct key

My problem (stuck on starting) is resolved. nothing to do with AUR. if you run into the problem, the solution is chattr -R -i ~\Dropbox and move any files it turns up outside dropbox. more here. https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/dropbox-hangs-on-quot-starting-quot-in-Manjaro-and-in-Fedora-38/m-p/695346. thnx for suggestions!

Hi and thanks for this package maintenance

upon updating to the latest version I am getting the following error during build 

makepkg -sic


...


Retrieving sources...
  -> Found DropboxGlyph_Blue.svg
==> ERROR: terms.txt was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.

what should I do? Thanks again!

@rcrath what python version are you running? If it's 3.11, did you rebuild all aur packages after upgrading?

I use Python 3.11.3 and didn’t run into that issue

I am having a problem where dropbox 173.4.6706-1 gets stuck on "starting". If I run it from the command line, the place it gets stuck is on dropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/PyQt5.QtDBus.so'.

extra/python-pyqt5 -> 5.15.9-1 contains:

/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/PyQt5/QtDBus.abi3.so /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/PyQt5/QtDBus.pyi

Is the problem with dropbox being built against python 3.10? Anyone else having this issue? I tried downgrading to dropbox snapshot from march 30 but that failed too, so my guess is that the problem is not in dropbox, but I don't know how to figure out what is needed to get it to work again.

@ipaqmaster I have seen that error before It goes away when I delete this folder ~/.cache/yay/dropbox

ipaqmaster commented on 2023-03-05 04:41 (UTC)

This package throws an error when it sees dropbox.desktop: dropbox.desktop already exists. Use -f as the first argument to overwrite it.

This makes makepkg throw custom exit code 4 for Error in user-supplied function in PKGBUILD.

Wouldn't it make more sense to worry about the package "already being built" in the build step and let makepkg throw its own exit code 13 for A package has already been built.? (Which also allows -f for override!)

I assume this can not be merged into the community repository due to dropbox EULA?
