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.

The package is indeed becoming huge, 123 MB for me...

mtorromeo commented on 2014-12-16 14:18 (UTC)

Enough with the dependencies requests! They are all bundled... Please do not link me wiki pages

vicp74 commented on 2014-12-16 13:39 (UTC)

The dependencies are still wrong, you can check it using namcap [1]: $ namcap dropbox-3.0.3-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz dropbox E: Dependency qt5-webkit detected and not included dropbox E: Dependency popt detected and not included dropbox W: Dependency included and not needed ('dbus-glib') So the PKGBUILD should say: depends=("qt5-webkit" "popt" "libsm") [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards#AUR_packages (step 4)

@silverhammermba: Look there: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201488805-Stable-Build-3-0-3

silverhammermba commented on 2014-12-16 06:54 (UTC)

I'm confused as to why the source URL is not one of the official download ones e.g. https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/... Also all of those packages are named v1.6.2. I can't find any download links for linux that are 3.0.3

Xavier commented on 2014-12-14 16:27 (UTC)

this is a QT version no GTK, please update the dependencies

MightyPork commented on 2014-12-14 10:27 (UTC)

Is this the official release? Just noticed that on their website there's only ~2.1, where does this come from? (btw the downgrade option by @nhutdm + adding to IgnorePkg worked great!)

Ayceman commented on 2014-12-13 22:07 (UTC)

Downgrading according to those sources works well - hope they fix it, as we shouldn't have to use an older client. ctown.myth, gourdcaptain: I said that having QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE set to gtk is aggravation the problem, not a solution. Some systems have it set to fix a qt theming issue in Xfce.

nhutdm commented on 2014-12-13 16:25 (UTC)

I have bad icon on my Awesome WM bar, so I downgraded to 2.10.52 through this source http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/dropbox?id=fa864c9b4d1bf535e06c63169fb3bb0890a9cf7f Hope this help!

The forced auto-update-prevention KlipperKyle posted doesn't work for me. Instead works: rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist install -dm0 ~/.dropbox-dist (from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dropbox#Hack_to_stop_Auto_Update ) Luckily, yaourt respects IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf.
