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?
Thanks!
@Obsidian13 which dropbox, there are many… can you show the output from zypper se -si dropbox

While the package is called dropbox-cli, it also installs the GUI, and the missing dependency is for launching the GUI.
Thanks!
As the package comes from openSUSE, you may consider bug report (even better would be SR as this is really a trivial change).
I’ll fill in a bug report 
Excuse my ignorance but what’s an SR in this context?
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.
