Workaround: I noticed my ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd file was 0 bytes in size as well as all other files in that directory. I removed the directory and ran "dropbox start -i" which triggered a re-install and then it worked like normal. I'm on a fresh 12.04. Dropbox used to work and just stopped and I started noticing this crash on startup.
