I tried to install dropbox like I always do with Manjaro and for some reasons this is no longer working as it used to be, so I’m wondering if there is any issue with that particular AUR package?
[kerryp@kerry-precision5520 ~]$ yay -S dropbox
:: There are 4 providers available for dropbox:

problem importing keys
I was like okay importing the key with gpg doesn’t work, so I googled and ended up on another post on this forum hinting me to do:
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E
And now it works yay -S dropbox works like a charm!
But I’m wondering why I have to do that manually, while it used to be completely transparent before?
