Ubuntu linux repository failure
I'm updating Dropbox through apt on Ubuntu 22.04, and run my usual command for updating all my packages. This time, I received the following error message: E: The repository 'http://linux.dropb...
It works now, but I am not sure why. The following are steps:
* The original not-working configuration are URL: https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, suite: sid.
* I change URL to https://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu, and suite to disco, and run `apt update` to test if the problem is in debian repository only. It works.
* I change URL to https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, and suite to bookworm, and run `apt update` to test if the problem is in sid suite only. It works.
* I rollback all configuration (URL: https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, suite: sid), and run `apt update`. It works.
I guess maybe some broken configuration is fixed when running `apt update` with new configuration.
I installed it using the download from the website, which added the entry to the sources list. It's been continually updated (automatically) without needing this line

Dropbox StaffHey Graeme T.1, thanks for the update here and sorry for the delay in our response.
May we reach out to you via email, so we can investigate further?
Hi there,
I'm facing the same issue here. It seems the keyring for Dropbox is expired!? In the past I followed the instruction at this link, but now with the March update it seems to not be working anymore... Let me know whether is an issue form Dropbox side, thanks

Hello and thanks for reporting these issues,
Graeme T.1 the repository issue was fixed last week. You should be able to update without receiving this error message.
matte90 Our engineering team says that this is a warning message that shouldn't cause a block. They are currently investigating why this is happening. In the meantime, it would help us if you could tell us what OS you are using and the specific error message you're receiving.
Regards,
Ben
Hi BenDBX,
I'm currently on Ubuntu 22.04.2 "Jammy Jellyfish". Unfortunately, I uninstalled DB because it prevented me from running successfully sudo apt update. In fact, what I was getting was a warning related to deprecated keyring.
However, playing around I got to the same issue Graeme T.1 was facing, without any option to solve concretely. Before I relied on an external GPG key as per here.
