Dropbox Install - One or More PGP Signatures Could Not Be Verified

Trying to install Dropbox, but got error message 'One or More PGP Signatures Could Not be Verified'.

Here's what I see in terminal:

Thanks for input on how to fix this.

Trying to install Dropbox

How are you trying to install it ? Also read the pinned comment by yan12125 on the AUR page.

Re: Dropbox Install - One or More PGP Signatures Could Not Be Verified

Install in terminal first with:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dropbox.git

Then:

cd dropbox
makepkg -si

Thank you for your help and suggestion!

I read yan12125 comment and did his first suggestion:

gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

and checked it with:

gpg -k

And got:

pub   rsa2048 2010-02-11 [SC]
      1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E
uid           [ unknown] Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>

Which is what he said you should see.

So tried installing again and this time Voila! it worked!

Good lesson here that I need to make sure I read comments before installing!

Thanks again for your help!
