Hi!

Here I have a old trouble without solution.

I want to start Dropbox but this failed.

It is the output:

Code:
$ dropbox
dropbox: locating interpreter
dropbox: logging to /tmp/dropbox-antifreeze-9oIcrd
dropbox: initializing
dropbox: initializing python 3.7.5
dropbox: setting program path '/opt/dropbox/dropbox'
dropbox: setting python path '/opt/dropbox:/opt/dropbox/python-packages.zip'
dropbox: python initialized
dropbox: running dropbox
dropbox: setting args
dropbox: applying overrides
dropbox: running main script
dropbox: load fq extension '/opt/dropbox/cryptography.hazmat.bindings._constant_time.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so'

Abortado (`core' generado)


I tried:

* Installing net-misc/dropbox-93.3.258 (the last)

* Delete the folder “.dropbox-dist” and update its content (dropbox-lnx.x86_64-92.3.365)

* I follow the wiki.

What happen?

What is the solution?

Tanks!!

libffi.so.6 is part of an older version of libffi. You probably need the affected files to be rebuilt to use libffi.so.7.

gentoo's (binary-only) dropbox ebuild depends on libffi-compat which installs libffi.so.6 already.

Please make sure libffi-compat is installed and /usr/lib64/libffi.so.6 is present. I don't use dropbox so I don't really know what else may be wrong.
