Well, is this that complicated? There are dozens of repos out there which
generates conflicts with the main repos.  We have three kind of repos:
- The main fedora and rpmfusion repos.
- The rpmfusion list of repos which are said to be compatible with the main
ones.
- All other, caja dropbox being one of them. 

I think we must accept that these conflicts for now. The only way to resolve
this is to work the the caja-dropbox team to make it parallel installable with
the original stuff. We certainly don't like conflicts, but they do happen from
time to time (if it's not done, caja's package could at least be marked as
conflicting Dropbox's).
