Keepass crashs on start after latest update?

[Maracuja]

Yesterday i updated my system pacman -Syu and now Keepass would give me an error whenever i try to start it printing out the following. Can someone help me figure out what to do?I guess it’s because a certain runtime got updated?

* Assertion at aot-runtime.c:2638, condition `is_ok (error)' not met, function:decode_cached_class_info, Image out of date

Man… i searched for 2 hours… then i posted here… Just to find a solution 5 Minutes later.
Just reinstall and the issue is gone. See Keepass crashes on startup (AOT Assertion Fail) · Issue #10191 · mono/mono · GitHub

Hi @Maracuja,

Nope. Or at least I don’t know if mono is a runtime or not, because the error seems to be related to or because of mono. And that would be neccessary since KeepassX is not Linux natively, but uses the mono Windows emulator. (Or that’s how I have it anyway.)

However, there is a drop-in replacement for KeepassX - KeepassXC. And it’s in the extra repository:

$ pamac search keepassxc
[...]
keepassxc  2.7.6-1 [Installed]                                                                                                                                                                                                                          extra
Cross-platform community-driven port of Keepass password manager

So it can be installed with:

pamac install keepassxc

You can use existing KeepassX databases as-is. I do, and it works like a charm.

Hope this helps!

In the future If you want to avoid Mono a.k.a. windows components altogether, you can use KeepassXC from the repos. I am more than happy i made this transition. And saves a couple of hundred MB disk space.

I was surprised to see so many people in the Stable Update thread with this problem because of using Keepass instead of KeepassXC, don’t know why anyone would choose to use a .NET application on Linux when there’s a perfectly good native alternative available.
