    Thanks!  This worked.

     

    For others that run into this problem:

    Use a .zip/.tar/.rar extractor to open the .deb file and find the "postinst" file.  Open in text editor and copy from "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" to "-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" and save as "dropbox.asc" into the /usr/share/keyrings/ directory.  Edit "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list" to read "deb [arch=i386,amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/dropbox.asc] http://linux.dropbox.com/debian sid main" or whatever version of Debian you are using.  Run apt update.  It should not give you an error anymore.

I tried this procedure in Ubuntu 22.10, but got the following:

Err:10 http://linux.dropbox.com/debian kinetic Release

404 Not Found [IP: 18.154.144.59 80]

Hi chelmite,

2 things!

  1. Try with secure HTTP - replace leading http: to https: 😉
  2. Next, Ubuntu' "kinetic" release (it's not Debian's as seems you think) is not yet added to Dropbox. Only Debian's "buster", "jessie", "sid", and "stretch" are there and Ubuntu's "artful", "bionic", "cosmic", "disco", "trusty", "utopic", "vivid", "wily", "xenial", "yakkety", and "zesty".

Good luck.

 

PS: They all are the same... use someone of the available. Also, there is not "Release", but "main" Dropbox repository component.

    This worked for me, just updating an old script to find all keys

    "sudo ls >/dev/null && if [ 1 ]; then
    sudo apt update 2>&1 | grep NO_PUBKEY | sed -e 's?^.*NO_PUBKEY ??' \
    | while read _hash; do
    wget -O- "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x${_hash}" \
    | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/${_hash}.gpg;
    done
    fi"
