I cannot install dropbox on Ubuntu 18.04. Whenever I run sudo apt install nautilus-dropbox, I get:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nautilus-dropbox : Depends: dropbox but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And I did not read it , I used this in teminal:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://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

After I run
grep dropbox /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list:deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu bionic main grep: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list.save: Permission denied
That seems to be a reproducible issue on Xenial as well as Bionic. The package dropbox which is being provided by Dropbox's repository has some weird dependency tree since output of apt rdepends dropbox is
dropbox
Reverse Depends:
Conflicts: nautilus-dropbox
Depends: nautilus-dropbox
Here dependency is also the conflicting package which I think is weird and needs to be corrected from Dropbox's end.
The package nautilus-dropbox is also available in Ubuntu's Multiverse repositories. So, I'd recommend you to remove Dropbox's repository.
First of all determine which file has Dropbox repository's entry using:
grep dropbox /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
Edit that file with sudo privileges and some text editor, for example, nano, and put a # to comment the line. To edit run:
sudo nano /path/to/file
Update APT's cache and install nautilus-dropbox:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nautilus-dropbox
If you want to use Dropbox daemon, install missing library using
sudo apt-get install libatomic1
