[Bug 1016559] Re: DropBox (nautilus-dropbox) installation hangs while downloading
Hey guys, The issue has been fixed server side by not using https for the downloader. Since the downloader also uses pgp to verify the binaries it should be as secure as it was before. Soon we will put out a new version of the package that will use https correctly.

[Bug 1016559] Re: nautilus-dropbox installation hangs while downloading
So it turns out it has to do with redirecting http to https and the downloader is actually trying to read the encrypted data. We're working on a workaround that won't redirect to https so that the current code will work. And we'll also put out a new package that will fix the problem soon.

The actual patch is to replace the os.read(f.fileno(), 4096) with f.read(4096) On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 1:10 PM, Raphaël Hertzog hert...@debian.org wrote: On Mon, 25 Jun 2012, David Euresti wrote: So it turns out it has to do with redirecting http to https and the downloader is actually trying to read the encrypted data.

Weird, I tried to patch the wrapper to download directly using https URL but this doesn't seem to help.

[Bug 909488] Re: nautilus-dropbox forbids dropbox's non-free binaries to replace themselves by properly installing dropbox system-wide
Hey guys, We provide a single package because that's the easiest thing for our users. They don't have to think about which version of Ubuntu is running or anything else. We have fixed the package to work from all version from 8.04 to 11.10 even through different versions of GNOME. Obviously 12.04 isn't working right now because we're still waiting on what will happen here. Regarding Raphael's solution of using a crontab. We've already got a working auto-update system that works when you use our package. Why build another solution? And as I said before, we don't mind that Raphael made his package and is distributing it. The only thing we care is that when users install Ubuntu and go to their shell and type dropbox, they get a prompt telling them to apt-get install nautilus-dropbox and when they do that they get a un-upgradeable version of dropbox, that will have all of the support issues I mentioned above. Basically all we're asking is that Ubuntu not include this Debian package in its defaults.

[Bug 909488] [NEW] nautilus-dropbox doesn't install dropbox client to correct location
Public bug reported: My name is David Euresti and I'm a developer at Dropbox. We noticed that Ubuntu picked up the nautilus-dropbox package from the Debian repositories. Alas, the modifications to our package made by Debian disable some features in the Dropbox client (e.g. auto update), and can cause users a lot of confusion because our official installation and technical support instructions will conflict with what the package expects. Because of these reasons, we were wondering if it was possible to not include nautilus-dropbox in Ubuntu 12.04. We already provide official Ubuntu packages and an apt repository so users can keep the package up to date. We also actively test our binaries and make sure that they work with the latest version of Ubuntu. We're not opposed to people installing Dropbox the way they want to, we just don't want the default to be an unsupported way.
