        Update for those affected.

        The headless version from https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux does work if you have a GDE.  I managed to successfully install it to my local linux box.  

        However, installing to my remote AWS instances fails with the above errors.  I believe the problem is caused by the app trying to launch a browser because it wants us to validate a new dropbox installation on the machine.  (Which doesn't make too much sense when running headless).  

        Regardless, I'll debug this issue some more when I get the chance (as I am away on vacation currently).
