I'm a Dropbox user.  Dropbox worked fine for me under 11.10; on this
machine it does not work under 12.04.  I tried the procedure recommended
by Dropbox:

cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"; | tar xzf -
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

And I soon got this:

pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ dropbox start -i
Starting Dropbox...

Error: Trouble connecting to Dropbox servers. Maybe your internet connection is 
down, or you need to set your http_proxy environment variable
The installation of Dropbox failed.

Is this a Ubuntu bug or a Dropbox bug?  I have no way of knowing, and
from the earlier comments in this bug I conclude that there's no
agreement about that.

Meanwhile I struggle.
