Public bug reported: Ubuntu 13.10 nautilus-dropbox 1.4.0-3ubuntu0.13.10.1
I recently updated to ubuntu 13.10 and found that I had no dropbox icon; Upon looking, it turned out to be because drobox was not running. If I start it via: dropbox start -i I get: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "dropbox/client/main.py", line 13, in <module> File "autogen_explicit_imports.py", line 13, in <module> File "ui/common/selective_sync.py", line 6, in <module> File "arch/__init__.py", line 28, in <module> File "arch/linux/tracing.py", line 8, in <module> File "hard_trace.py", line 6, in <module> File "client_api/connection_hub.py", line 21, in <module> File "client_api/kv_connection.py", line 23, in <module> File "pylinux/__init__.py", line 71, in <module> File "cffi/api.py", line 311, in verify File "dropbox/overrides.py", line 398, in load_library File "cffi/verifier.py", line 69, in load_library File "cffi/verifier.py", line 154, in _load_library File "cffi/vengine_cpy.py", line 124, in load_library VerificationError: importing '<HOME>/pylinux/__pycache__/_cffi__xa0c4f46bx1d95b4de.so': No module named _cffi__xa0c4f46bx1d95b4de -- (with <HOME> the location of my home directory). debian bug #734628 describes the same issue, and also a solution: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=734628#10 -- From: Trevor Bekolay <tbeko...@gmail.com> To: 734...@bugs.debian.org Subject: Re: Bug#734628: nautilus-dropbox: dropbox fails to start with a pylinux import error Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 13:21:30 -0500 With some help from David at Dropbox, I fixed the issue by doing the following: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dropbox/.dropbox-dist dropbox start -i Which essentially wipes out the old Dropbox app files and reinstalls them. The issue seems to be related to recent Debian Python updates. In any case, anyone affected with this issue should be able to perform the above steps to fix this bug. -- Not sure there is much nautilus-dropbox can do about this, as it seems to be related to the binary that is downloaded from dropbox, though perhaps removing the /var/lib/dropbox/.dorpbox-dist dir in pre-install could be considered if the update always will refresh that directory.
