Dropbox Error in Ubuntu 10.04

I have been using Dropbox to store my documents safe over online, syncing with my local file system (Ubuntu 10.04 Operating System - 32 bit). Recently it stopped initializing during the startup, where it was working perfectly earlier times. The error message stated, "Couldn't start Dropbox - This is usually because of a permission errors. Errors can also be caused by your home folder being stored on a network share. Please contact support with the following information for more help: /tmp/dropbox_error3aMj4F.txt"

So I opened the file,

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "__main__dropbox__.py", line 419, in run
AssertionError: Wrong build of Dropbox (9 vs 14 needed)

Googling the last 3 lines gave me the solution.

pradeeban@pradeeban-laptop:~$ dropbox stop
Dropbox isn't running!
pradeeban@pradeeban-laptop:~$ dropbox status # Should report "not running"
Dropbox isn't running!
pradeeban@pradeeban-laptop:~$ rm -r ~/.dropbox-dist/
pradeeban@pradeeban-laptop:~$ dropbox start -i
Starting Dropbox...
Dropbox started initializing fine during the start-up and also worked perfectly after that.
