Starting with Fedora version 37, update packages don't work, most likely due to a change in the Dropbox repository structure.

Here's an example:

https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/36/x86_64/  - OK (There are two supported architectures: i386 and x86_64)

Starting with version 37, https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/37/ No supported architectures, only repodata.

For DNF/Yum, the presence of arch is mandatory and cannot be overridden with variables. Updating doesn't work with Fedora version 37; only initial installations.

As a result, dnf looks for files in http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/42/x86_64/nautilus-dropbox-2025.05.20-1.fc43.x86_64.rpm where they don't exist and gets a 404 error.
