I was trying to install Dropbox via Zypper, and while it installed correctly and I could launch it from my DE (KDE), it crashed after finishing self-updating.
After looking up at error reports, it seemed that the program was lacking a package “libgthread-2_0-0”
I’ve tried installing it and presto, now Dropbox starts without error.
libgthread-2_0-0 should be added to Dropbox’s dependencies…
What’s the best way to notify the package maintainer?
I believe, Submit Request, similar to github Pull Request. It is used by Open Build Service (the instance of which drives building of openSUSE disrtibution). You clone a package, make necessary changes and Submit Request for update to the original package.
