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 ...

    Hi there nathanieloffer - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Can you please clarify your device's exact OS version and the version of the Dropbox desktop app that's giving you this error?

    Any additional information or screenshots are more than welcome!

      Hi, I'm running Fedora 42

      6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64

      Dropbox version v224.4.4811

      There's no point providing a screenshot because the text log I posted came directly from the terminal DNF output during an update so there's nothing else to be seen.

        Does the issue persist after reinstalling the app nathanieloffer?
