[SOLVED] Dropbox PKGBUILD Fails

I am trying to install the main dropbox package (not experimental) 1.0.10 on x86 Arch.

The first problem is that md5sum error

==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    dropbox-lnx.x86-1.0.10.tar.gz ... FAILED
    dropbox.png ... Passed
    dropbox.desktop ... Passed
    terms.html ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

I calculated the proper md5sum and changed it in the PKGBUILD file.  That fixed this issue.

When I try to build again, I get the following...

==> Starting build()...
rm: cannot remove `/home/douglas/build/dropbox/src/.dropbox-dist/libstdc++.so.6': No such file or directory
    Aborting...

I do not have a .dropbox-dist folder to begin with.  I have tried to open the dropbox-lnx.x86-1.0.10.tar.gz file without success.  It is of an unknown format. 

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Dropbox PKGBUILD Fails

The md5sum in the PKGBUILD is correct.  I've just tested it.

The failure of your md5sum check was telling you that the downloaded file was corrupt.  At that point, you should have started over.
