Arch Linux User Repository

Since version 2024.04.17-1 dropbox-cli is built from the nautilus-dropbox source as currently the dropbox.py source file is not aligned with the latest release in https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/

@cfr42 the version in filename is in order to avoid issues once the file is downloaded, if a new version arrives makepkg does not try to re-download it if the file has the same name and it already exists. If the checksum fails then it means that there is a new version and it's necessary to change the PKGBUILD information.

Please flag it if that happens.

I think this is out of date, but I'm not positive so don't like to flag it. At any rate, making it fails:

==> Making package: dropbox-cli 2018.11.08-1 (Dydd Iau 29 mis Tachwedd 2018 23:30:29 GMT) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found dropbox-cli-2018.11.08.py -> Found dropbox-cli.patch ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... dropbox-cli-2018.11.08.py ... FAILED dropbox-cli.patch ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Although the downloaded file is confusingly named with the correct version, the content says it is part of nautilus-dropbox 2018.11.28. I don't think it is helpful to add the version to the filename when downloading if you have no reason to think the version is correct. It would be better not to rename it at all or to append some arbitrary suffix, if you need one.

Yes, I have python2 installed, the outputs as below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 1609, in <module>
    ret = main(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 1598, in main
    result = commands[argv[i]](argv[i+1:])
  File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 781, in newmeth
    return meth(*n, **kw)

    f.write(st.encode(enc))

Thanks

@Yeh-Z do you have python2 installed? try with the following command and let me know what happen:

python2 /usr/bin/dropbox-cli status

Hi,

I got an error as below:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 1512, in <module> ret = main(sys.argv) File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 1501, in main result = commandsargv[i] File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 719, in newmeth return meth(n, *kw) File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 1164, in status console_print(line) File "/usr/bin/dropbox-cli", line 128, in console_print f.write(st.encode(enc)) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2022' in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)

any ideas? thanks!

Downloads okay for me and sha still checks out. Maybe it was a temporary network glitch.

Failed to download python script.

This is the page: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/linux-commands#commands

Link works just fine for me: https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py

Works with this python script / link and updating sha256sudm

I'm getting same error like @jarod and there is no dropbox-cli package in the pacman cache:

@jarod, clear the cache for that package, your aur helper probably doesn't redownload the file, if its name didn't change
