Yeah, give me a couple of hours. /me is still at work. Do you want to work on
updating the SRU patch or shall I do it?

Title:
  nautilus-dropbox needs a dependency on libappindicator1

  Confirmed
Status in “nautilus-dropbox” source package in Saucy:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi!

  When installing nautilus-dropbox, everything works well except that
  there is no notification icon in the notification area. This is fixed
  very easily by manually installing the "libappindicator1" package
  right after installing nautilus-dropbox and logging out and back in.

  This seems to imply that the nautilus-dropbox package should have a
  dependency set for libappindicator1 so that it gets installed at the
  same time if not already present on the system.

  Should be fairly trivial to fix.
