Hi there,
Four days ago, I have made a pristine installation of KDE amd64 siduction in my desktop, wiping out the former one. I used the latest iso from
https://isobuilds.siduction.org/, dated 2020-02-16. It worked seamlessly. Right after the installation, I did my first full-upgrade, seamlessly as well.
Since my personal data are backed up at Dropbox, I installed its client package, downloaded from its official site (I guess, since I did not write down this
), as the commands below seem to confirm:
# apt policy dropbox
dropbox:
Installed: 2020.03.04
Candidate: 2020.03.04
Version table:
*** 2020.03.04 500
500 http://linux.dropbox.com/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
# apt policy nautilus-dropbox
nautilus-dropbox:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2020.03.04
Version table:
2020.03.04 500

2019.02.14-1 500
500 http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/non-free amd64 Packages
Parenthetically, by the way, the command apt search dropbox gives:
# apt search dropbox
[suppressed output]
dolphin-plugins/unstable,now 4:19.08.1-1+b1 amd64 [installed]
plugins for Dolphin
dropbox/sid 2020.03.04 i386
cloud synchronization engine - CLI and Nautilus extension
[more suppressed output]
which might indicate dropbox is not installed! I really do not understand how this does not contradict the output from apt policy dropbox above...
Anyway, when I rehearse doing a second full-upgrade, I get:
# apt full-upgrade -s

Remv dropbox [2020.03.04]
As you can see, dropbox would be removed, as well as 2 other packages. I am not very much concerned with these last removals, since, it seems, they would be replaced by equivalent or more uptodate (?) ones.What bothers me is the dropbox package removal.
Should I let the full-upgrade go on? I cannot put dropbox on hold because this sparks a whole lot of other dependencies (libpango1.0-0, libgtksourceview2.0-0, etc) which should be put on hold as well, which does not seem wise... After the full-upgrade I might perhaps install dropbox again; does that make sense? Does anyone here has a dropbox package installed after a full-upgrade within the last 3 days?
Thanks in advance.
