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

[Luca Falavigna]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the
development release - Precise Pangolin. It would help us greatly if you
could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next
release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release
at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your
help.

Title:
  installation of original package from www.dropbox.com failed - Dropbox
  works

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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)

  Xubuntu: 11.10 64 bit
  Linux: 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:27:26 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  Dropbox: nautilus-dropbox_0.7.1_amd64.deb
