Re: package for dropbox

I've found the debian repo package doesn't work, it installs but when run the daemon says it's install incorrectly

and forwards me to the dropbox website. this might of changed since I last tried

but it might be better to get it from their website

Just as an asside, dropbox.com has a Debian .deb package that can be
downloaded from it, as well as a Python script that can be used to
control it from the shell.

That might be worth looking into as well....
