No repository for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa

I was checking linux.dropbox.com but was unable to find a repository for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. Now that 20.04 is released as LTS, will this repo be added soon?

    Hi rjk, thanks for posting today!

     

    Currently I don’t have any update on this matter, however, I’ll forward this to our dev team for their awareness.

     

    If there’s anything else I can assist with, please let me know!

As described here

https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/linux-commands

adding a repository for Ubuntu 20.04/focal fails:

 

The repository 'https://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

 

The reason is simply that in https://linux.dropboxstatic.com/ubuntu/dists/

ubuntu focal 20.04 / is not listed.

 

Also adding the the key fails/hangs.

 

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.vG9InKLJM5/gpg.1.sh --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

 

I hope an engineer reads this and fixes this (trivial to solve) problem.

 

thanks
