This happened after I updated to fedora 18. I tried deleting the dropbox repo, but it didn't work. (rm: cannot remove ‘dropbox’: No such file or directory)

sorry but Dropbox REPO is not avalilable yet for FEDORA 18 you can disable the repo for the moment and wait until this is available :

All repo are stored in /etc/yum.repos.d/

Disable YUM Repo using YUM (Temporary)

yum install some-package --disablerepo=some-repository

Example :

sudo yum update --disablerepo=Dropbox

you can delete it, you need to be root to execute this action, as i said before, all repo in fedora are stored in :

/etc/yum.repos.d

open a terminal and navigate to this folder and delete or rename Dropbox repo :

rm dropbox.repo

or renamed it

mv dropbox.repo dropbox

and execute

sudo yum update

again....
