Hello, all:

I installed the amd54 Ubuntu deb of nautilus-dropbox. In order to do
that, I had to override a dependency problem:

dpkg --force-depends-version -i nautilus-dropbox_0.6.3_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 230573 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace nautilus-dropbox 0.6.3 (using
nautilus-dropbox_0.6.3_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement nautilus-dropbox ...
dpkg: nautilus-dropbox: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as
you requested:
nautilus-dropbox depends on libnautilus-extension1 (>= 1:2.22.2); however:
Version of libnautilus-extension1 on system is 2.30.1-1.
Setting up nautilus-dropbox (0.6.3) ...

Evidently the lib-nautilus package in testing is actually OK, being
later than the one expected, which is why I felt confident in forcing
the install. And the application installed and works flawlessly. But
now aptitude complains of a dependency error and recommends removing
nautilus-dropbox. I shall, of course, ignore the recommendation, but
is there any way to tell aptitude that all is actually well?

Thanks
Patrick

But dropbox is not in debian repo now?
Btw, when it was not, a picked up ubuntu version like you, but
modified the .deb this way
1) unpacking it with dpkg-deb -x, dpkg-deb -e
2) modifying 1:2.22.2 to 2.22.2 in the control file
3) repacking it with dpkg-deb -b
hope this help
