Hello Evan, I solved the problem you have by doing the following:

1. Run, as you did before:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
2. Press CONTROL+C to before the download of Dropbox tries to do anything.
3. Remove dropbox:
sudo apt-get purge nautilus-dropbox

That should allow you to install other packages again. (I installed
another package in Software Centre properly after doing the above.)
