People having problems installing Dropbox?

[vasa1]

Over the past few months, I've come across a few threads of people having problems installing Dropbox. A common feature seems to be that they subsequently can't update anything!
Here's the latest: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55049...able-to-update

The others have been here at UF. I'll search for those threads and post them here.

perhaps they should ask dropbox about this?

The nautilus-dropbox package typically pops up a window requesting that Nautilus be restarted. Perhaps the popup is obscured by Software Center, which appears to stall out waiting for the user to deal with it.

I prefer using Synaptic or Gdebi to install packages. Unlike Software Center, they display error messages.
