LM 15 Mate Dropbox pulling in Ubuntu deps

[Joe White]

Linux Mint Olivia Mate 64-bit edition

Command: aptitude install caja-dropbox

Aptitude detects that dropbox is only a dummy package, so selects nemo-dropbox instead. This pulls in all these deps:

I worked around this problem by going to the Dropbox homepage and installing the Ubuntu 64 .deb file linked there. I was then able to install caja-dropbox without the unneeded dependencies.
