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.

@spsf64 of course: https://hastebin.com/gabibumitu.bash @zjagannatha thanks. Added!

@figue can you post the full PKGBUILD? Thanks

zjagannatha commented on 2017-02-06 02:49 (UTC)

@figue: that's awesome! works like a charm for me. One minor note, you should add this: makedepends=("wget")

figue commented on 2017-02-04 16:55 (UTC) (edited on 2017-02-04 16:58 (UTC) by figue)

Hi @mtorromeo maybe you can change PKGBUILD to something like this: 1. Get latest version checking dropbox's official url. 2. Add a pkgver() function to change package version in build time. 3. Done. The bad thing is checksums need to be skipped. Here you can see a diff with my proposal: https://hastebin.com/iwakomeruc.pl Cheers Edit: I forgot to add wget as a makedepend...

Release 17.4.33-1 fails when installing: "error: failed to commit transaction (package missing required signature)"

Alexpin commented on 2016-12-21 20:12 (UTC)

@cbrnr I was skeptical of URLs used to host user data because in principle they could be used to host malicious clients. However, after figuring out that the official link points to that URL, I'm definitely ok with downloading dropbox from there. @mtorromeo Thanks for your time and patience.

mtorromeo commented on 2016-12-21 18:10 (UTC)

I updated the URLs since there are many users that are having problems with the cloudfront ones. I have tested them again anyway and they were still working fine for me. No 404 and no redirects either. Just a straight 200 OK with the download data. Just to be clear, I am not ignoring the users with actual problems like this one but I have disabled the notifications in this thread a long time ago. I have too many packages to maintain to waste my time on the pointless requests that many users have been making here and I'm sorry for everybody else with actual issues.
