Proprietary daemon and python-gpgme
Hi, I try to install Dropbox on Linux. When I clicked on the Dropbox icon or visited www.dropbox.com/download, I got a message: In order to use Dropbox, you must download the proprietary daemon. No...
I am getting the same popup every time I boot up Mint 17.3. If I click on OK (and check the Don't show this again box,) it hangs the install at about 75%. (This is with Dropbox installed and running just fine!) If I just click the checkbox and dismiss the popup, it just comes back on next bootup. More of a nuisance on bootup that I have to dismiss, so I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this popup.
Any update here?
I installed python-gpg and Dropbox loads up without the warning
sudo apt-get install python-gpg

I tried that, and get "Unable to locate package python-gpg."
In the Mint Synaptic Package manager, python-gpg is not listed, but python-gpgme is, and it was already installed.Hi
Nearly every time I boot Linux Mint 19.1 (based on Ubuntu 18.04) I get the following dialog message:
python-gpg(python-gpgme for Ubuntu 16-10 and lower) is not installed, we will not be able to verify binary signatures.
Running dpkg -l |grep python-gpg indicates python-gpg is installed
ii python-gpg 1.10.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 Python interface to the GPGME GnuPG encryption library (Python 2)
If I click on OK or Cancel, it doesn't matter which, Dropbox works normally. I get the Dropbox icon, it syncs and as far as I can tell, it's working as it should. However clicking on "Don't show this again" does not work. I still get the message the next time I boot.
How do I get rid of the message? It's annoying.
