The package "dropbox" is not an official Debian package. I guess you
installed it directly from dropbox.com.

It's basically the same software but in a different package name and thus
they are not co-installable. Unfortunately dropbox did not coordinate the
rename of their package.

You should thus remove either dropbox or nautilus-dropbox.

On my side, I will add a "Conflicts: dropbox" so that the package manager
knows that they are not co-installable.

Cheers,
