Also affecting me. Not a new install. Fully updated system.
Tried killing the process and then doing
dpkg --configure nautilus-dropbox
just in case but it does the same thing but I did get a traceback when
cancelling this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 1384, in <module>
ret = main(sys.argv)
File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 1373, in main
result = commands[argv[i]](argv[i+1:])
File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 806, in update
download()
File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 534, in download
progress = one_chunk.next()[0]
File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 209, in download_file_chunk
chunk = os.read(f.fileno(), 4096)
KeyboardInterrupt
dpkg: error processing nautilus-dropbox (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script was interrupted
Errors were encountered while processing:
nautilus-dropbox
Also tried running
/var/lib/dpkg/info/nautilus-dropbox.postinst configure
Manually as a normal user, this also hung
Then looked at the script and ran
dropbox update
manually. This time I got the expected dropbox installation dialog box
and a gui version of the download. Which also hung at 99% !!!
htop shows me that I have two python /usr/bin/dropbox update's running,
one at 90+% CPU and one at 30+% CPU. I killed them and had one more go.
The result was X running at around 90% CPU and dropbox update at around
60-70% CPU.
Gave up.
