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 should specify "opt/dropbox/dropboxd" (without quotes, no leading slash) in NoUpgrade. Other than that, it is not responsibility of the PKGBUILD itself to ensure that NoUpgrade works. If it is not working, file a bug against pacman (or libalpm, not sure).

Evilandi666 commented on 2011-08-22 13:42 (UTC)

Could you please try to ensure that your pkgbuild does not always overwrite /opt/dropbox/dropboxd when this one is in /etc/pacman.conf -> NoUpgrade = ... It is very annoying, even if you do chmod -w on it, it will be overwritten. Some of us use different/extenden dropboxd scripts.. so that's why it is annoying....

I tried that, my chown got messed up some how. I got it fixed now. Thanks

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-08-20 13:15 (UTC)

@matt_head : all you have to do is edit PKGBUILD and replace "root.root" by "root:root".

mtorromeo commented on 2011-06-29 19:36 (UTC)

It is a quote from the website, it seems it has been removed now, but you can still see it in google results https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=Secure+backup%2C+sync+and+sharing+made+easy&lr=&qscrl=1

Tomato commented on 2011-06-29 19:24 (UTC)

I'd say that "Secure" in the package summary is a bit daft in light of latest revelations...

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-06-15 12:11 (UTC)

Ahh yep, thats what I did. I have only been new to this and every time it seems I've looked in the tarball it's just the PKGBUILD file so I figured it would be alright. Sorry, that was my fault. Thanks for the script btw!

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-06-14 01:22 (UTC)

@chrisportela Works here. You need to D/L the entire Tarball and extract. I got a feeling you just D/L the PKGBUILD. That IS the error you would get (it 1st to be sourced that is not downloadable.) Be sure to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines if you've not already done so.
