nautilus-dropbox won't install because it needs dropbox but it won't be installed but dropbox is already installed
someone who is good at the package manager please help me. my family is dying
@squirrel I exclusively use apt in cli, the graphical package managers drive me nuts
@InspectorCaracal no no that's what i'm using too
@InspectorCaracal the previous toot in that thread
@squirrel oops *cough* Okay sec
@squirrel (I can read, I promise.)
The first thing I would try is doing both at once, so
apt install dropbox nautilus-dropbox
That SHOULD work, unless dropbox is a broken install, in which case apt remove dropbox first and then trying the above should do it.
@InspectorCaracal none of that worked
@squirrel If it won't let you remove it and reinstall it, you can stick -f in your install to force it to install
apt install -f dropbox nautilus-dropbox
@InspectorCaracal no it does
apparently dropbox and nautilus-dropbox are incompatible as of right now under xubuntu 16.04.3
@squirrel Okay cool what do you need help with? :D (disclaimer, I use debian, but they use the same package system)
