warning at 'status' command line

Since yesterday, when I run 'dropbox status' and it process is running, the CLI returns: 

 

 

 

/usr/bin/dropbox:614: DeprecationWarning: isSet() is deprecated, use is_set() instead
  if self.stop_event.isSet(): break
Actualizado // <-- means 'updated'

 

 

 

If no process exists, the 'dropbox is not running!' msg is displayed as usual.

I've tryied to update dropbox, but guess it's already updated. 'version' shows: 

 

 

 

Dropbox daemon version: 187.4.5691 #guess this is the latest
Dropbox command-line interface version: 2020.03.04 #don't know how to check just this one.

 

 

 

 Any hint or help will be appreciated.

    No there is NOT! The daemon (your link points to) and control script (contained in the package) are different thing. Updating the daemon won't affect the control script (where the error comes from). There is updated package, but it's restricted and unusable in particular case.

     

    JpFortran, take a look here how you can solve your issue. 😉

    Good luck.

    yes! seems that just renaming that is_set function is enough (thought dropbox was a binary file)

    Thanks a lot!

    No, it's not. 🙂 it's script (i.e. text file). 😉

    yup .. after seeing your recipe in your pointed post about using 'sed', inmediatly I thought Wa~wa~wait .. let's run 'file' over that /usr/bin/dropbox ... a python script ;-). Thanks again!
