Hi ObsidianR, just to clarify, could you confirm that you've followed the previous steps in this thread in relation to removing and redownloading the package?

    Please understand that this situation currently affects all users of Debian Stable or newer.

    There is a deadline, after which no updates will be accepted from the Dropbox repository.

    This situation will very likely migrate to downstream Linux Distributions, including Ubuntu.

    I did, it does not fix the issue for me. 

    To be fair, the error clearly states what the issue is and what the solution is too. It just needs to be changed to an up to date file format.

    If this is not done soon, Dropbox will cease to function in all Debian-based distros, including Ubuntu which is listed as compatible in your documentation.

    It is a genuinely simple fix if the dev team is notified.

      Is anyone talking to the Ubuntu devs about this? Like at some point this will be in Ubuntu. Maybe it is already in a dev version. Dropbox should care about that even if they don't care about Debian directly.

        Or they could go and validate their flatpak. That way we at least have something that works in all distros even if it's not optimal...
