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.

@broken.pipe: If my comment doesn't help, please provide your build log (with pastebin.com or any other "paste" site).

@broken.pipe: It seems dropbox doesn't depend on core/openssl. If you run 'ldd /opt/dropbox/dropbox' you will see that dropbox binary is linked to libssl.so.0.9.8 that should be located at '/opt/dropbox/libssl.so.0.9.8'. If you don't have this lib in this place, than, that's a good reason for the error.

thx for your responses, error still exists. i reinstalled openssl from core and multilib and rebuilt dropbox. Were there any great changes in the last release? new dependencies? because the previous version(s) worked fine without any issues.

@josephgbr pacman -Qs always shows installed packages as local @broken.pipe try lib32-openssl

rafaelff commented on 2012-01-26 14:27 (UTC)

@broken.pipe: You don´t seem to have openssl from [core] (as it is "local"). I suggest that you reinstall openssl, but from [core].

broken.pipe commented on 2012-01-26 10:48 (UTC)

64bit and always up to date: local/openssl 1.0.0.g-1 local/dropbox 1.2.51-1

@broke.pipe Everything works fine here

cybertorture commented on 2012-01-26 09:22 (UTC)

did you update openssl ? core/openssl 1.0.0.g-1 i can not confirm this in eighter i686 and x86_64

broken.pipe commented on 2012-01-26 06:40 (UTC)

does this error only occur to me? markus ~ $ dropboxd /opt/dropbox/dropbox: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@wleoncio: Dropbox uses GTK2. There is no official Adwaita GTK2 theme, so it falls back to Clearlooks. Try installing a GTK2 Adwaita lookalike, such as Advaicium (http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/advaicium-adwaita-theme-ported-to-gtk2.html) @jstjohn: the conclusion is right, but the reasoning is misleading: -U is for installing from files, which just happens to encompass the AUR if using makepkg manually (i.e. not via a pacman wrapper)
