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.

You do not need to download the PKGBUILD additionally, it is already inside the tarball. Instead, extract that tarball. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR#Installing_packages

downloaded both, ran makepkg, output saved on pastebin. is there cache that needs to be cleared somewhere? http://pastebin.com/HkUC2Gxy

@mispp: Seems like you downloaded only the PKGBUILD instead of the whole tarball... Or your AUR helper is broken, because dropbox.png and the other files are there.

Seems to be a problem with 2.8.4 ==> Making package: dropbox 2.8.4-1 (Wed Jul 9 23:18:25 CEST 2014) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.8.4.tar.gz ==> ERROR: dropbox.png was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.

@dlin: Dropbox doesn't provide its source code. It is closed source. The link you provided leads to nautilus-dropbox, which allows integration of Dropbox and GNOME's nautilus (a.k.a. Files). This source code you mentioned has the feature of download Dropbox binary to work with the dropbox-nautilus integration, but in Archlinux you can you the packages 'dropbox' and 'nautilus-dropbox' for the service and for the integration, respectively.

dlin commented on 2014-06-06 13:16 (UTC)

Why not use the source code which provide on offical dropbox site? https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx

Sorry, I found the problem. Problem solved

I got this message, when I want to install package. OS: Netrunner Arch 64-bit Package Manger: Octopi curl: (23) Failed writing body (4585 != 16384) ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.8.3.tar.gz Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build dropbox.

2.8.3 is out

cgirard commented on 2014-05-27 12:53 (UTC)

Replying to myself. This was caused by rebuilding the new package without cleaning the directory. A .dropbox-dist resides in the src directory which needs to be cleaned.
