Dropbox StaffHey there Takeshi1 - sorry to hear about this.
Can you first ensure you're meeting all of our minimum requirements as per this page: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/system-requirements ?
Also, would you mind sending a screenshot of the error too?
Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there.
Hi.
Thank you for your reply.
I'm trying to install Dropbox as a headless. So, the requirements of the headless linux server is Glibc 2.19 or above.
The version of Glibc on Debian stretch is 2.24. I think the requirements has been met.
The last message is as below (see screenshot). The installation is freezed after the message.
dropbox: load fq extension '/home/tsuyama/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-59.4.93/PyQt5.QtCore.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'

Sorry to hear about this Takeshi1.
At this point, since Debian is not officially supported, I would suggest that you tried an advanced re-install as outlined in this Help Center article and if the issue persists you can also log a ticket with our team providing as much information as possible in regards to your installation issue in the hopes there's something further to be done.
Either way, keep me posted on your findings
Hi Walter. Thank you for your reply.
I reinstalled Dropbox based on your suggestion. But the result is the same as before.
So, I logged a ticket about this problem.
I'm happy to post my findings.
Take care.
