Linux – Install Dropbox client version for Linux Debian wheezy

debiandropboxlinux

I try to searching the .deb pkg for amd64 to install the Dropbox client version, but I didn't find it. I also try to put in source.list more repositories and try to the official page of Dropbox, but it seems that the only package is this:

Blockquote
nautilus-dropbox_0.7.1_amd64

I don't want to install nautilus because I have openbox in my debian wheezy and I hate nautilus.

Any suggests?

From http://www.dropbox.com/install

Install Dropbox via command line The Dropbox daemon works fine on all 32-bit and 64-bit Linux servers. To install, run the following command in your Linux terminal.

32-bit:

cd ~ && wget -O - http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86 | tar xzf -

64-bit:

cd ~ && wget -O - http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 | tar xzf -

Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

If you're running Dropbox on your server for the first time, you'll be asked to copy and paste a link in a working browser to create a new account or add your server to an existing account. Once you do, your Dropbox folder will be created in your home directory. Download this CLI script to control Dropbox from the command line. For easy access, put a symlink to the script anywhere in your PATH.

You could just create a symlink to ~/Dropbox

ln -s <dir-that-you-want-to-sync> ~/Dropbox

Linux – uninstall libc6 package by dpkg

sudo aptitude reinstall libc6

The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
  libc6 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.5) but 2.17-0ubuntu5.1 is installed.
 libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.16) but 2.17-0ubuntu5.1 is installed.
 libnih1 : PreDepends: libc6 (< 2.16) but 2.17-0ubuntu5.1 is installed.
E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the libc6 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Downgrade the following packages:                                                                     
1)     libc-bin [2.15-0ubuntu10.5 (now, precise-security, precise-updates) -> 2.15-0ubuntu10 (precise)]    
2)     libc-dev-bin [2.15-0ubuntu10.5 (now, precise-security, precise-updates) -> 2.15-0ubuntu10 (precise)]
3)     libc6 [2.17-0ubuntu5.1 (now) -> 2.15-0ubuntu10 (precise)]

As aptitude says, there are 4 packages belong to libc6, but I only install one of them by deb file. Maybe that is the reason trash the system
