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

@squirrel Okay cool what do you need help with? :D (disclaimer, I use debian, but they use the same package system)

@InspectorCaracal the previous toot in that thread

@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.
