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

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

@lahwaacz That makes sense. I saw dropbox was 2.4.4-1 in AUR and my dropbox icon says it's 2.4.5. What do you think once dropbox is updated here will it automatically get fix or if manual intervention is required.

lahwaacz commented on 2013-11-03 11:05 (UTC)

@donniezazen: that's probably because dropbox detected newer version, downloaded it, extracted the files into ~/.dropbox-dist/, tried to re-exec itself and failed. This process fails because dropbox from this package is installed under /opt/dropbox/ and re-exec over different binary path is not possible. The fact that auto-update can't be disabled in dropbox is really pissing me off...

dropbox@donnie.service seems to have started failing. systemctl status dropbox@donnie.service dropbox@donnie.service - Dropbox Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/dropbox@.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Sun 2013-11-03 16:13:37 IST; 5min ago Process: 2619 ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd (code=exited, status=255) Main PID: 2619 (code=exited, status=255)

I recommend all to extract using terminal and: "tar -zxvf dropbox.tar.gz" When i tried to extract using file-roller i got errors and couldn't build the package.

Done, thanks.

You might want to make ufw-extras an optional dependency, since it now includes configuration files for ufw and dropbox. Thanks for maintaining.

Hi: Just trying to help. In the file PKGBUILD, I change the package version to: pkgver=2.4.0 and the corresponding check sum for both i686 and x86_64 sha256sums=('e01474f536a252d117d5882816769951a881c3d67eb2770e2818001d7688cc79' '8b8af2d6a5786d7fa259660a34c47fa0a7534cd112e70d71ee53b1f786baf530' 'dd8fdb362c0bba8d789010594f021671ff00e535fc75e13da855f43bc7a4b3aa' 'b9e020c378c318e72857bb6cd859c74e8da1300f34cee5bfec89c4f7a89770a9' 'c7253ef6806b7efdec6f3d7e1eeaa90f48813e80715733ab9c902123edfdae27') [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && sha256sums[0]='b1a69a7a1f5f6da384701a60b298ce490528a8787de1e6055a7b8ddd6b80e32c' and it works for me.

Nevermind; I somehow messed up /var/tmp.

@jaseemabid I'm getting similar issues. It seems to have just started recently though.
