Hello,

I tried to install dropbox on my fresh installation of Fedora 31. The error that i got is "Could not start the dropbox daemon" if i run the installation on terminal i got additional details like "libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Ps. on my previous version of linux (Zorin os) the dropbox application was working perfectly (so my requirement of my laptop are ok)

Tank you very much

Yes, you are right. Wrong using of "contain" word from my side. Sorry. It's additional package of course.

For Lubuntu 18.04 the command is: sudo apt install libatomic1
