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

[Raphaël Hertzog]

This shows that the Dropbox-provided package is correctly installed. I
have no idea why gdebi would not work in this situation. Reaffecting the
bug against this package.

** Package changed: nautilus-dropbox (Ubuntu) => gdebi (Ubuntu)

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

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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)
