Hi guys

I’m trying to install an application with LXLE 32bit non pae but I’m being prevented with an error message prompting me to run this command

 sudo dpkg --configure -a

when I run this command It downloads nautilus-dropbox to 100% then hangs

Here’s the terminal output


graeme@laptop1:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up nautilus-dropbox (0.7.1-2) ...

Downloading Dropbox... 100% o share and store your files online. Want to learn more? Head to http://www.dropbox.com/

Any help would be much appreciated

What are you trying to install … and where from ?

Does LXLE even use nautilus as the file manager ?

I’m trying to install Entangle from the repos

No it uses pcmanfm, but I must have found nautilus-dropbox from the repos and attempted to install that previously but I can’t remember

OK run:

sudo apt-get remove --purge nautilus-dropbox

now try installing Entangle.

If you want dropbox installing, let me know and I’ll look into it … but please let me know if LXLE is based on Ubuntu 12.04 ?

I tried that earlier but I just go round in circles

graeme@laptop1:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge nautilus-dropbox
[sudo] password for graeme: 
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

What happens if you run:

sudo dpkg --purge nautilus-dropbox

That sorted it Mark and I’ve now managed to install entangle
