Dropbox 1.2.51 either won't start at all, or starts but dies silently as soon as a change comes in. Monitoring the status sometimes shows "Downloading file list" between "Idle" and its disappearance, but not always; it usually dies pretty quickly. I have seen no log messages after it dies. 1.2.48-r1 works fine. I have tried several cycles of downgrade and upgrade and can easily duplicate the symptoms. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install 1.2.51. Monitor its status for a few seconds. Make sure it settles into "Idle". Change a file in some other system connected to the same dropbox account. Monitor dropbox's status -- it disappears within a few seconds. Once it did copy one of four changed files, but then died. I do have a satellite net connection with 1.5 second ping times, but that doesn't bother 1.2.48-r1. An ordinary net connection might be fast enough that it dies quicker. I am a programmer, but have done very little in Python. Still, I don't mind editing proposed fixes or debugging code and reporting the results. This is a headless ~and64 system. I ssh into it; I don't run X on it, but it does have some X components.
It also dies or stops responding for me. Once I did see a message before it dying: dropbox: ERROR: (rs_outfilebuf_drain) error draining buf to file: Resource temporarily unavailable .48-r1 works fine. Maybe using system libraries instead of bundled ones for closed source programs isn't a good idea :/
(In reply to comment #1) > It also dies or stops responding for me. Once I did see a message before it > dying: > > dropbox: ERROR: (rs_outfilebuf_drain) error draining buf to file: Resource > temporarily unavailable That's it! That's the message I got a few times at first, but not once I started downgrading and upgrading to pin i down.

After an update from net-libs/librsync-0.9.7-r1 to net-libs/librsync-0.9.7-r2 dropbox-1.2.51 started working again. Before that, I saw the same errors as mentioned before...
I have to correct myself: It worked for about 10 Minutes with 10 restarts (doing straces etc...). Now it failed to sync some files, again. Same errors as before (exit status 245). Sorry for the noise.
Same here, downgrade to dropbox-1.2.48-r1 works again.

(In reply to comment #20) > python-updater rebuilt dropbox-1.2.51 ... now it starts OK and also > accepts/survives changes. Let's see for how long ... I tried running python-updater and letting it rebuild what it wanted to, but still dropbox dies after some seconds.
Created attachment 303077 [details] dropbox-1.3.19.ebuild This is the testing version of dropbox and it works fine for me. Can also be found in put-overlay (http://blog.ppfeufer.de/gentoo-overlay-put-overlay/)
I have a workaround described on the dropbox forums, by not dropping the bundled rsync. Create a copy of the ebuild in your local overlay. Open it in a text editor and remove the line "net-libs/rsync" from RDEPEND, and the entry "librsync.so.1" from the line starting "rm -vf". Not the optimal solution, but I needed dropbox working yesterday for classwork. http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=45949&page=4&replies=100#post-406933

Ahh, sorry about that, haven't got the 1.2.51-r1 ebuild yet. I'll try again when it shows up.

Thanks, and sorry for the brain fart.
Until this is fixed there is no sense on letting the fix work behind a (default off) USE flag -> bundled library should be used ALWAYS as the alternative simply makes dropbox to not work at all

For dropbox currently available in the tree, the problem seems to be gone. I had some longer running tests with dropbox-2.4.x, others also seemed OK. Maybe it is time to close this bug?

Yes. The easiest way to reproduce my steps might be: root@machine # USE="-librsync-bundled" emerge dropbox user@machine # dropbox stop; dropbox start
