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.

@carstene1ns thanks for the tip, i'll keep it mind next time.

@dohnjoe: btw, you can leave out some steps, if you just want to package a new version for yourself: 'makepkg -si --skipinteg'

dohnjoe commented on 2014-02-11 16:18 (UTC)

I just installed the new version posted by carstene1ns (see below). Edit PKGBUILD file like so: pkgver=2.6.8. (instead of 2.6.7) Then do a '$ updpkgsums' in the same directory, this will download the dropbox source files and update the checksums. Again in the same folder do '$ makepkg -s' and install the newly made package 'dropbox-2.6.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' with pacman. # pacman -U dropbox-2.6.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz. This will install dropbox 2.6.8. Below is my PKGBUILD file. http://pastebin.com/jJrczPwp

2.6.8 is out: https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=111871

Nope, strike that, `xdg-open file:///some/thing.html#bla` with thing.html in place doesn't work either. Bad xdg-open.

ackalker commented on 2014-02-07 22:13 (UTC)

The /tmp/<hidden>.html file is being created, my guess is that xdg-open has some trouble with the #<URL fragment> thingy hanging off the back. Bare file names don't take URL fragments, URLs do, so I think xdg-open should be used as: xdg-open "file:///tmp/<bla>.html#whatever". I did a simple grep on the package but I can't find anything 'xdg-open' related (probably crypted/obfuscated/whatever).

ackalker commented on 2014-02-07 21:54 (UTC)

dropbox 2.6.7-1: choosing "Launch Dropbox Website" doesn't work; running 'dropboxd' from command line and trying shows: xdg-open: file '/tmp/<hidden>.html#<loooong-string-of-hex-probably-to-be-kept-private>' does not exist ('<hidden>' and that other one are obviously not real). xdg-open has no problems opening local .html files in my browser of choice. Please advise if this is an upstream bug or if it has anything to do with this package.

So three days ago, 2.6.6 was released (at least in the forum). Well .. then PKGBUILD would look like this?!: # Maintainer: Massimiliano Torromeo <massimiliano.torromeo@gmail.com> # Contributor: Tom < tomgparchaur at gmail dot com > # Contributor: David Manouchehri <d@32t.ca> pkgname=dropbox pkgver=2.6.6 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily." arch=("i686" "x86_64") url="http://www.dropbox.com" license=(custom) depends=("dbus-glib" "gtk2" "libsm") optdepends=( 'ufw-extras: ufw rules for dropbox' ) conflicts=("dropbox-experimental") options=('!strip' '!upx') _source_arch="x86" [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && _source_arch="x86_64" sha512sums=('1544cf8815c60a7b22b876fb8d1697ee2e56fa452d475517822a7a340167ae29450a58a9e0b71ddcc8c5ec7f1560357febbf17f884715a7aa188d3d9e0eb7247' 'b1a2ca11479c9f243c0368d79b36ef87910311af2dd126a3291438083544ed10a640143a58e73be1d27bf016c114e668ea504ed6eed6955370bfcac309e5fb7d' 'b3e0701afe90693b99d5e23bad6b8637bc27611a42c695d12b3b990d98bf010371b266322cd54c60ffd654ed44f56a85b1fcb51b30db991af60043dc22bf1897' 'f688115daa8930dffd6e27a7113b137972c20918297c6178bb7e8f820add325d34d452f8bf6bb73fa6b2de73ffa028d27457ed2df390687af8841d9425ebab3e' 'b08a50766681a55e3bf9f1721549218996dd4dbef183dce4967622a98a52fdcc47325de99794b40462692213bbe390f659cf48023b407ae4fce81997af4d46e2') [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && sha512sums[0]='fa385c49f57f04a2634a0a587b3274e4fd746d8eafc456a2c25fdd28aa2be58db825e05a06ff978323c3830165278ac4b0bcfb1d5de22eb9de124682b17a8d3a' source=("https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/${pkgname}-lnx.${_source_arch}-${pkgver}.tar.gz" "dropbox.png" "dropbox.desktop" "terms.txt" "dropbox.service") package() { install -d "$pkgdir/opt" cp -R "$srcdir/.dropbox-dist" "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox" find "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox/" -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; chmod 755 "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox/dropboxd" chmod 755 "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox/dropbox" install -d "$pkgdir/usr/bin" ln -s "/opt/dropbox/dropboxd" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/dropboxd" install -Dm644 "$srcdir/dropbox.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop" install -Dm644 "$srcdir/dropbox.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps/dropbox.png" install -Dm644 "$srcdir/terms.txt" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/terms.txt" install -Dm644 "$srcdir/dropbox.service" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service" }
