Help with Dropbox in Debian

[jonathonball]

I was having some trouble installing dropbox in my Debian box

At first it wouldn't install because it said this:

nautilus-dropbox : Depends: libnautilus-extension1 (>= 1:2.22.2) but 2.30.1-2 is installed

But I was like 2.30.1-2 > 1:2.22.2, what's the problem?
I said screw this and was able to get it install using..

sudo dpkg -i --force-depends nautilus-dropbox_0.6.7_i368.deb

it installed and works perfectly, but now there is an error in my GUI that says

An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount >0' This usually means that your installed packages have unment dependencies.

When I run apt-get check I get

jon@debian-vm:~$ sudo apt-get check
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nautilus-dropbox : Depends: libnautilus-extension1 (>= 1:2.22.2) but 2.30.1-2 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

If I run apt-get -f install, it just tries to remove dropbox... don't want that.

my question is, is there anyway to suppress this error so I can move on? Dropbox is working perfectly.

I'm running Debian 6.0.

I fixed it.

I purged dropbox from the system.

Then I extracted the contents of the *.deb file...
modified the "control" file as such

Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0), libc6 (>= 2.4), libcairo2 (>= 1.6.0), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libnautilus-extension1 (>= 2.22.2), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.20.1), python (>= 2.5), python-gtk2 (>= 2.12)

I recreated the package using

dpkg -b . test.deb

then installed the new package file with the modified dependencies. It now works as before, but without the annoying errors from Debian.

Win.
