Installation error on Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular)
I recently updated to Ubuntu 24.10 and after re-enabling the Dropbox source, when I try to upgrade the package I get this error:
W: Failed to fetch http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/pool/main/dropbox_2024.04.17_amd64.deb
File has unexpected size (79926 != 79966). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 18.154.144.59 80]
Hashes of expected file:

Perhaps someone can update the oracular section of the repo to fix this - thanks.

Hi jefferyto, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?
Keep me updated with any progress!Thanks Jay - I am on a Basic plan, but also the issue isn't the installation process, the repo package data is out of date/incorrect. The Packages file for noble (24.04) is correct but the Packages file for oracular (24.10) is not (or at least does not match the actual deb file, as the apt error message indicates).
