Hi RogerOakes,
Install your old and compatible version. After that try fix the issue using following shell commands:
$ dropbox stop
$ rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist
$ dropbox start -i
Hope this helps.
No change in situation. Dropbox client still doesn't work for me on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Reverting to browser based client.
Can you post the terminal output when executing the commands, I posted above?
Okay.
Dropbox isn't running!

Anyway... Are you sure you have not a mistake on type/copy your command output? The output doesn't seem to come from latest supported package version (2020.03.04). Just we be aware what you are running, can you post the output of the following commands too (both of them, not just the last, as you have done before):
dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/dropbox dpkg-query -s dropbox | grep -i version
PS: To be sure you run latest distribution fixes, you can launch in advance:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
