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

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

Sorry for the delay, I updated the package.

I couldn't find anywhere on the dropbox site where they published md5sums of their downloads so I did my own checksum. Is that what you normally do when maintaining this package? Here is a git diff of PKGBUILD which worked for me using the md5sum I generated locally after downloading it manually. It works for me, but I've only tested on one machine and only on x86_64. I'm knew to trying to help with AUR packages, so I hope this helps. diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index f6b1f81..93c581d 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # Contributor: Tom < tomgparchaur at gmail dot com > pkgname=dropbox -pkgver=1.4.12 +pkgver=1.4.17 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily." arch=("i686" "x86_64") @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ _source_arch="x86" [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && _source_arch="x86_64" md5sums=('3488299b1d91591d3a5ba7e2c02ec220' '9ec50da2ce59ed8c17606394b9c5e1c0' '20c97082211cf02af494043b93d5feb8' '5331288d5f5972dc2e9311d0f28dac76') -[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='a54dd81749c02157f1691ef4ac570305' +[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='7a15923bae36f27387b6865c75701c2a' source=("https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/${pkgname}-lnx.${_source_arch}-${pkgver}.tar.gz" "dropbox.png" "dropbox.desktop" "terms.txt")

1.4.17 fixes the 2-Step Verification. For time being I changed pkgver and skipped md5sums check.

jordidg commented on 2012-08-29 06:24 (UTC)

The release notes have been updated, 1.4.17 is the latest version now.

@krisko: dropbox-experimental https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29432

krisko commented on 2012-08-28 14:24 (UTC)

That's weird, I've just installed 1.4.17 (dropbox-lnx.x86-1.4.17.tar.gz), also the download page is offering this version (for windows), maybe they forgot to update release notes? :D

mtorromeo commented on 2012-08-28 14:16 (UTC)

1.4.12 is tha latest version according to this: https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes

krisko commented on 2012-08-28 14:10 (UTC)

Hi, could please update to newest version, as this version (1.4.12) doesn't support 2-way verification.

rzelnik commented on 2012-08-26 03:43 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanation and sorry for the long comment, I will use pastebin in the future.

rafaelff commented on 2012-08-26 03:25 (UTC)

That's expected. Dropbox is based in a blob - proprietary software provided in binary - which sometimes make it difficult for the maintainer to install files in the correct folder without breaking things up. In these cases - and that's dropbox case - better leave the way it is, sadly. p.s. Next time, post any huge output in sites like http://pastebin.com, and then insert link in here, to avoid huge comments.
