There isn't a Linux repository for Fedora 32

Hello everyone.   An RPM repo for Fedora 32 hasn't been created yet, which leads to errors every time I use my package manager. Is Dropbox aware of this problem?

After installing Dropbox on Fedora 32 and running the following command:

dnf update

I get this error:

Dropbox Repository                                                20 kB/s |  25 kB     00:01    
Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'Dropbox':
  - Status code: 404 for http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/32/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 13.35.111.119)
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'Dropbox': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
Ignoring repositories: Dropbox

It seems that replacing "/32/" with "/31/" in the URL gives a valid XML response, so I imagine Dropbox doesn't have an updated repo for Fedora yet.

    Indeed, there is now a repository for Fedora 32.  But I'm curious to know if they have fixed their release process so we won't run into this again when Fedora 33 is released.

     

    Dropbox, Jay Lusil can you let us know if there is really a long term solution in place for this, please?

      Hi again everyone, I'm glad to hear that this seems to be resolved for you now.

       

      Although I can't put a specific time frame, if you run into any other issues or unexpected behaviors, we're always just a post away.

       

      Thanks again!

        @Lusil,

        The Fedora 32 repodata xml file still refers to the 2019.02.12 package version. Will there be an update that points to the newer (2020.03.04) version?
