Ey, Understand that the package is simply outdated. Checksums not passing either indicate that or a broken download. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox-cli for instructions. When an AUR package has a problem, go to its AUR package listing, comment about the problem if there are no comments about it, and check the comments for instructions. If the package is outdated, flag it as outdated. If the package has been flagged outdated for over two weeks, submit an orphan request. Bear in mind that due to the Arch philosophy, people usually encourage users to understand the process of everything: in this case, the AUR package install process. -- Cheers, Aᴀʀᴏɴ

To add to what the others have said, you can also install the package manually. Just follow the official instructions for building a package[1]. Then you can use the --skipchecksums flag on makepkg to ignore the checksums. Like Aaron said, users are encouraged to fully understand the process of installing third party packages. To quoute the wiki for AUR helpers[2]:

AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot problems.

Hey hey, I need CLI access to my dropboox account. I'm still running dropbox-cli, which is marked as out-of-date and I couldn't update to the latest version. Using trizen, I get this error message: [...] -> Found dropboxd-fallback.patch ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... dropbox-cli-2023.09.06.py ... FAILED dropboxd-fallback.patch ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! :: Unable to build dropbox-cli - makepkg exited with code: 1

There is dbxcli a commandline interface written in Go, which also fails to build with this: no required module provides package github.com/dropbox/dbxcli: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules' ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... :: Unable to build dbxcli - makepkg exited with code: 4

Has any one else perhaps encountered these errors and found a fix or can suggest another commandline app that will give easy access to an existing dropbox account.

Best wishes and thanks,

Jeanette
