If dropbox can't load libappindicator, it will fallback to using the old
xembed protocol. If you (or your Desktop Environment) are running
something like KDE's XEmbed SNI Proxy, then you'll at least see an icon,
but clicking the icon won't give you menu.
Adding libappindicator to the env allows dropbox to fully integrate with
contemporary status trays, while still falling back to xembed if the
required DBus service is not present.
…since this is actually dropbox-nautilus project.
In one of the previous updates, the source code responsible for finding dropboxd
was changed, rendering our sed replacement not working. That triggered the installer
which in turn failed on the unavailability of gobject-introspection typelibs. And
when that was fixed, we got bitten by our lazy packaging putting a broken code
into the installer.
This is a proper fix for all the issues, except for making typelibs available to
the installer since we shall use Nix instead.
To sign in to dropbox, a browser must be available in the FHS env. We cannot
ensure that the user's browser of choice is available, so we provide Firefox as
a default.
Resolves: #31667
Instead of adapting Dropbox to NixOS with patchelf, NixOS is adapted to Dropbox
with an FHS user environment. A crash due to missing libXert (#15356) is
fixed. The client's automatic updater is fixed; this obviates the need to
update Dropbox in Nixpkgs every time the client is updated upstream!

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
Dropbox is again updated without a release announcement. I noticed on Friday
that the client was malfunctioning. I was waiting for a release announcement
with the new version number, but as one was not forthcoming, I simply guessed at it.
