You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb and Debian Buster
Yesterday I installed Debian Buster on a netbook that is not powerful enough for Windows 10.
I tried to install Dropbox but I got an error about python3 and python3-gi not meeting the requirements. The picture shows the Dutch message, I don't know what the English version would be like.
The installed python3 is version 3.7.3-1 and python3-gi 3.30.4-1 so I don't get the point.
Anybody?
Hi Wijnand,
First make sure everything installed is up to date:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgade
Now, check what is the actual version of the installed packages and try install using 'dpkg':
dpkg-query -s python3 python3-gi | grep -e "Package: " -e "Version: " dpkg -i Downloads/dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb
What is the result?
Thank you for the advice, but the result is the same:
- versions 3.7.3-1 and 3.30.4-1 for python3 and python3-gi
- problems with the requirements prevent configuration of dropbox:amd64
You didn't show other results. Anyway... try following:
apt-get install procps python3-gi python3 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libpango1.0-0 lsb-release gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 gir1.2-glib-2.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-pango-1.0 nautilus python3-gpg
Execute entire line at once. Just a check - if some package is missing (not only python related). What is the output?
