Do you know if you need a proxy to access the web? Please paste me the output of "env" on your shell and of "dpkg -l nautilus-dropbox". (for amd64, for i386 it should be "lnx.x86" at the end of the URL) But I'm interested to learn why the download would not work for you. Do you get a window asking your for admin privileges when running the above command? It might be related to the https redirection since the wrapper doesn't copy over the https_proxy variable. I prepared an updated package for this. The package is attached (built for Ubuntu LTS amd64 and i386), please try it out and report back. Cheers, PS: In any case, the dropbox wrapper in nautilus-dropbox wants to install the files in /var/lib/dropbox/ so the suggested wget should really be: cd /var/lib/dropbox && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"; | sudo tar xzf - But please don't do this for now. Please try the updated packages instead. -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Do you like what I do?
