Bug 565094 – net-misc/dropbox-3.6.8 doesn't start properly with systemd as per gentoo wiki

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description imese 2015-11-07 21:58:32 UTC]

Follow wiki to install dropbox on gnome3 system and start with systemctl. After dropbox syncs drop stops and starts at 3 second intervals. If I disable dropbox with systemctl and 'Start Dropbox on system startup' is selected dropbox will start and then work normally.

However I would like to do it the systemd way.

Happy to submit more data if needed.

journal entries demonstrating 3 second interval when started with systemd:
Nov 07 10:26:10 go2 systemd[1]: Started Dropbox.
Nov 07 10:26:14 go2 systemd[1]: [e-mail]: Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL
Nov 07 10:26:14 go2 systemd[1]: [e-mail]: Unit entered failed state.
Nov 07 10:26:14 go2 systemd[1]: [e-mail]: Failed with result 'signal'.
Nov 07 10:26:14 go2 systemd[1]: [e-mail]: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Nov 07 10:26:14 go2 systemd[1]: Stopped Dropbox. 

This is on an ~amd64 system.

Does this still affect the versions in ::gentoo? We now only have 5.3.18 and 6.3.13

FWIW I am using systemd+dropbox here and it appears to be working fine
