I encountered this error http://pastebin.com/w7Hqh2KR
I got exactly the same error.
I think I got past this error by running $ sudo apt-get install dropbox at the end, instead of nautilus-dropbox.

I got the same error, but running $sudo apt-get install dropbox instead of $ sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox seemed to do the trick.

Yes, $ sudo apt-get install dropbox works….
I coud not do it. When I start dropbox, a windows opens and tell me to install Dropbox daemon. When it finishes, the Dropbox icons appears near my clock but in grey, and nothing happens. No matter what i do, i can’t configure dropbox account and the icon that stays there “connecting” forever…
