Bug Description

I have a problem with dropbox in the last 4 versions of ubuntu: it won run. I can install; then when I want to start it, I get
bart@bart-Inspiron-545:~$ dropbox start
Starting Dropbox...
The Dropbox daemon is not installed!
Run "dropbox start -i" to install the daemon

so I do: and I get box downloading and installing the daemon, then:

bart@bart-Inspiron-545:~$ dropbox start -i
Starting Dropbox...Done!

But then if I type
>dropbox start

I again get

Starting Dropbox...
The Dropbox daemon is not installed!
Run "dropbox start -i" to install the daemon

I have tried uninstalling everything and starting from scratch, installing from the command line, installing from the dropbox website, installing from package manager... nothing works. On my other ubuntu 17.10 laptop, no problems.
