[Bug 1874161] Re: kpcli is unable to open a kdbx file if the file is locked by both a password and a key file
@dotancohen - The question is not "what version *forward* are Keepass v2 files (*.kdbx) supported" but instead "at which version did support cease." The simple answer is that Keepass v2 files up to and through version 3.1 are supported. Version 4 and beyond are not supported and may never be. You can read a bit about the KeePass author's changes from 3.1 -> 4.0 here: https://keepass.info/help/kb/kdbx_4.html kpcli uses the perl module File::KeePass to operate on Keepass files. That module does not support Keepass v2 files (*.kdbx) beyond version 3.1 and largely because the File::KeePass hasn't chosen to make those updates. If and when File::KeePass gains that support, kpcli likely will by default. If not, I will update kpcli to make it so, but the support is first needed in File::KeePass. https://metacpan.org/pod/File::KeePass -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874161 Title: kpcli is unable to open a kdbx file if the file is locked by both a password and a key file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kpcli/+bug/1874161/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Lester, I see that the kpcli homepage [1] now (March 2022) states: > A command line interface (interactive shell) to work with KeePass 1.x or 2.x database files. From what version forward are Keepass v2 files (*.kdbx) supported? I tried what I believe to be the latest kpcli version (3.6), installed from the Sourceforge .deb. I also tried 3.1 installed from the Ubuntu repos (apt-get). From archives it seems that the above text also applies to kpcli 3.1 in the Ubuntu repos, yet the issue remains. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874161 Title: kpcli is unable to open a kdbx file if the file is locked by both a password and a key file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kpcli/+bug/1874161/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

KeepassX version 0.4.4 and earlier use *.kdb (V1). KeepassX version 2.0.0 and higher use *.kdbx (V2). I do now know what your problem is, but you might want to try keepass2, keepassxc, and/or read about "Version 4 of the KDBX file format is unsupported" here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kpcli/files/ -- Lester On Wed, Dec 30, 2020 at 11:30 PM Alex Wang <1874...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > I have a correction to my previous comment: Instead of asking, "Is this > behavior of Keepass new?"

[Bug 1874161] Re: kpcli is unable to open a kdbx file if the file is locked by both a password and a key file
The file command shows that my file is a 2.x KDBX file. I tried creating a new database file with KeePassX with the KDBX extension. The file command shows the new database file is also a 2.x KDBX file. I also tried creating a database file with KeePassX with the KDB extension. The file command also shows this second new file is a 2.x KDBX file. It seems like the installation of KeePassX from Ubuntu 18.04's repos generates v2 Keepass file. Is this behavior of Keepass new?

Hello Lester, Thank you for your guidance. I tried renaming the kdbx file to end with a kdb extension instead. I then used kpcli to try opening the kdb file with the same key file, but I still encountered the same error: Couldn't load the file kpstuff2.kdb: The database key appears invalid or else the database is corrupt.

I am the author of kpci. KeePassX does not support Keepass v2 files (*.kdbx), only v1 files (*.kdb). I suspect that you created a v1 file named foo.kdbx, which kpcli will assume (wrongly) is a v2 file due to the kdbx file extension, and fail to open it. An easy test would be to copy your file to one with just a kdb extension and try to open it. -- Lester -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874161 Title: kpcli is unable to open a kdbx file if the file is locked by both a password and a key file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kpcli/+bug/1874161/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
