Compatibility problems with KeePass2 (kdbx/v2 format)

Paul - I spent some time this weekend making sure that kpcli works properly with File::Keepass v2.02 and testing *.kdbx support. My tests all went well with the exception of kdbx interoperability with KeePass2. With kpcli (and File::Keepass v2.02) I can create, save, open, modify, save, open, etc. *.kdbx files without issue. With KeePass2 I can create *.kdbx files and open them with kpcli without issue, but KeePass2 cannot open any *.kdbx files saved by kpcli. The error message that KeepPass2 gives is "Failed to load the specified file! Failed to read past end of stream!" I verified that KeePass2 sucessfully goes through the create, save, open, modify, save, open, etc. cycle on *.kdbx files without issue, and in 100% of my test cases kpcli can open all files saved by KeePass2, and so I believe that I have discovered a legitimate interoperability problem that exists only when saving *.kdbx files with File::Keepass v2.02 (KeePass2 can't read those files). I am working on Ubuntu Linux, using Portable KeePass2 downloaded from http://keepass.info/download.html (KeePass-2.20.zip) and am running it on Mono version 2.10.5.

File::KeePass was capable of reading version 2 databases, there were a number of shortcomings (odd requirements) that the KeePass2 client requires. File::KeePass 2.03 was uploaded over the weekend and finishes out the necessary support. Paul On 09/16/2012 08:01 AM, Lester Hightower via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Thanks, Paul. Version 2.03 does seem to resolve the issues that I found in 2.02. I just released kpcli v1.5 to support *.kdbx files when File::KeePass v2.03 or higher is being used.
