I can't reproduce this, but I am running staging. That suggests there's some impurity in the package, I think. I don't think this commit is at fault; |
@ocharles Since I can't reproduce this, could you try my version of dropbox at ttuegel/nixpkgs@b0ef1c1? |
@ttuegel No dice there either I'm afraid :(

Instead of adapting Dropbox to NixOS with patchelf, NixOS is adapted to Dropbox with an FHS user environment. A crash due to missing libXert (NixOS#15356) is fixed.
