To add to what the others have said, you can also install the package
manually.
Just follow the official instructions for building a package[1].
Then you can use the --skipchecksums flag on makepkg to ignore the
checksums.
Like Aaron said, users are encouraged to fully understand the process of
installing third party packages.
To quoute the wiki for AUR helpers[2]:
AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar
with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot
problems.

Hey hey,
I need CLI access to my dropboox account. I'm still running
dropbox-cli, which is marked as out-of-date and I couldn't update to
the latest version. Using trizen, I get this error message:
[...]

There is dbxcli a commandline interface written in Go, which also fails
to build with this:
no required module provides package github.com/dropbox/dbxcli: go.mod
file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go
help modules'
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

Has any one else perhaps encountered these errors and found a fix or
can suggest another commandline app that will give easy access to an
existing dropbox account.
Best wishes and thanks,
Jeanette
