Getting a Broken Pipe for a Dropbox File?

Support AUR

I have a dropbox upgrade that has been pending for a bit, and keeps getting a cat write error of “broken pipe”:

This doesn’t appear to be the usual PGP verification issue. Maybe an issue with the package? How could I upgrade this?

The issue is fixed with gnupg 2.2.29, but until then…

I’ve got gnupg 2.2.32-2, but I have the same issue as @Sarah.

I had done it before. Has not helped. I’ve just checked again the PGP keys with gpg -k. I’ve even found on Dropbox’s webpage the latest tutorial/guide. It has the same PGP key. I am clueless how to debug. I would have expected a more direct error message, such as pointing the name of the missing key.
