Updated workaround procedure:

- Download the Dropbox .deb file from: https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx
- Open the .deb with Ubuntu Software Center and begin installation
- When you see the screen saying "To complete installation, you must start Dropbox", press CANCEL
- Install the dropbox daemon (nautilus-dropbox) using one of these commands (from https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx):
      For 32-bit operating systems:
            cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -
      For 64-bit operating systems:
            cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
- Start the dropbox daemon with this command:
      ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
- Restart computer
