boot error involving Dropbox

[[e-mail]]

In the below error message I replaced our Dropbox group name with 'groupname':
...
Error found when loading /etc/profile:
/usr/share/modules/init/sh: eval: line 42: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/share/modules/init/sh: eval: line 42: ` Dropbox (groupname) set +x;_mlshdbg='x' ;;'
/usr/share/modules/init/sh: line 61 :export: module: not a function
As a result the session will not be configured correctly.
You should fix this problem as soon as feasible.
...
This error message occurs when I start the computer, which has:
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
$
with this version of dropbox
$ dropbox version
Dropbox daemon version: 125.4.3474
Dropbox command-line interface version: 2020.03.04
$
The error message appears with a red exclamation mark (I typed in the error message, as was not copy-able)

I turned off the autostart Dropbox under preferences however the error message persists. Dropbox seems to work OK.

after executing to see if the LSB modules would help:
sudo apt install lsb-core
$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version: core-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch:security-9.20170808ubuntu1-noarch
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
$
the error message also persists. The error message can be dismissed by wiggling the mouse to make the cursor appear and then clicking an OK button at which point the desktop screen appears.
