    Actually, unmark it as solved. Every time now I try to do an update of Fedora 43 itself now, the entire update fails because of Dropbox. I just realized the version I can find on linux.dropbox.com/packages is 

    2025.05.20-1.fc42

    but Fedora 43's updater insists on updating nautilus-dropbox to

    2025.05.20-1.fc43

    which does not exist anywhere on linux.dropbox.com. The file is completely missing. Fedora tries to search in the Dropbox repositories, but it returns a 404. That means the error is on Dropbox's end, not mine!

    https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/fedora/ shows Fedora 39 and Fedora 42 packages, but nothing  for Fedora 43.

    Now the Fedora 42 version will sometimes work on Fedora 43, and sometimes it won't. My menu stopped working again, too.
