Hi all!<br>
<br>
Short version: rm ~/.dropbox-dist/libz.so.1<br>
<br>
Long version:<br>
<br>
A year or two back the Dropbox GUI (i.e. the traybar icon and the<br>
settings disalog) stopped working in Mandriva, and the situation has<br>
persisted on Mageia as well.<br>
<br>
I have recently investigated the issue with the help of Dropbox Support,<br>
and the root cause of the issue is that Dropbox bundles an old libz.so.1<br>
which gets used instead of our libz.so.1. The problem doesn't affect<br>
most other distributions because we are using the "--enable-libxml2"<br>
build option of fontconfig, which makes it build against libxml2 instead<br>
of libexpat, and our libxml2 requires zlib 1.2.3.4+, while dropbox ships<br>
zlib 1.2.3.3.<br>
<br>
The Dropbox developers are now aware of the issue and will fix it in a<br>
future version. In the meantime, you can just remove the libz.so.1 file<br>
from your ~/.dropbox-dist directory, and the GUI will start to work.<br>
Note that it may reappear (Dropbox does automatic upgrades) later, and<br>
if the issue isn't fixed properly by then, you need to rm it again.<br>
