Dropbox desktop app Linux Ubuntu failed to install.

Hi,

I just received an email about the new desktop app so I downloaded it and tried to install it but the install fails with an error on libglib2.

My system is a new install of Ubuntu Mate 24.04 with version 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.1 of glib2 which is >= 2.40
