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 ...

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.

      Thank you for your reply Conductor​ and for your attempt to help me out.  I think you're definitely correct in your suggestion.  However I actually discovered the cause of my problem yesterday.  Even though I had the Dropbox repo file on my system, the version of Dropbox that was actually being used was coming from the rpmfusion-nonfree repo!  I've managed to change that now and everything works as it should.

        So you deleted the dropbox repo to resolve the conflict?
