However, since it seems that Dropbox is unlikely to ever make it into the Debian archives if it still contained pre-compiled libraries, this was the only alternative I had. It looks like this won't work either, if Dropbox crashes and refuses to work properly. I'm now out of ideas; is there any other way of packaging Dropbox? Or should I simply give up on ever seeing Dropbox in the repositories again? Vincent
