[Bug 901880] [NEW] installation of original package from www.dropbox.com failed - Dropbox works

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I got an installation of Xubuntu 11.10 but had to reinstall it, /home has an extra partition so the dropbox folder was kept.
After the installation everything worked fine and i wanted to install dropbox.
The installation of the original package from Synaptic worked but the download of the daemon failed in 4 cases and i had to run:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

to repair the packages.
I uninstalled every time the package and tried it again with the package from the dropbox website.
- In the Ubuntu Software Center nothing happend (another bug?)
- with gdebi i got this message twice:

Fehler: Zerstört vorhandenes Paket »nautilus-dropbox« (Konflikt:
nautilus-dropbox ( ))

Unstallation und reinstallation didn't solve the problem.

BUT: After the third try i ignored the problem and the Dropbox icon
appeared and synchronized my folders!

Again i tried to reinstall the package with gdebi but got again this
error!  (s. screener)
