Dropbox needs to update the required Fedora repository.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.  This is just a heads up that Fedora Linux was updated earlier this week to 42 and so the Dropbox Fedora repository is now producing error messages ...

A temporary workaround:

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo

Change the line

baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/
to
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/41/

    I don't know whether you've noticed but the Fedora repo has now been updated (https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/).  I've edited /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo and changed the line to

    baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/

    and

    baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/42/

    and tried to update the system, but it doesn't update for either option.  I'd be very grateful if you have any suggestions.

      My suggestion is to delete the line that ends in "42" and keep the "$releasever" line, since "$releasever" is a place-holder for the version of Fedora that you are using.

        I think I misunderstood your post, dpeebles​. Sorry.
