Debain Squeeze - Dropbox

v 0.3
28 Oct 11

Dropbox "deb" files are compiled for use under ubuntu.  Whilst Debian Squeeze has all the correct dependencies, they are written for ubuntu, and so give an error when the deb file is installed on Debian.  To fix this, it is a simple exercise in extracting the deb file, editing the control file and then re-building the package.  Works a treat.

I notice that Debian Backports has the Dropbox package.  Use it.
