Can't install dropbox on Xubuntu 22.04

  • 772

Downloaded the Dropbox .deb on a fresh Xubuntu 22.04 install and tried

sudo dpkg -i dropbox_2022.12.05_amd64.deb

This is the result:

(Reading database ... 193177 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack dropbox_2022.12.05_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking dropbox (2022.12.05) over (2022.12.05) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dropbox:
 dropbox depends on libgtk-4-1 (>= 4.8.0); however:
  Version of libgtk-4-1:amd64 on system is 4.6.6+ds-0ubuntu1.
 dropbox depends on gir1.2-gtk-4.0 (>= 4.8.0); however:
  Package gir1.2-gtk-4.0:amd64 is not configured yet.

Version >=4.8.0 of libgtk-4-1 only seems to be available for Xubuntu 22.10.

    Try to install older version of dropbox if you don't plan to update Ubuntu to 22.10.
