Bug Description
Binary package hint: keepassx
cannot make a working kdb file with keepassx 0.4.1 under Ubuntu 9.10.
I've tried on two different systems. One with a fresh install of keypassx
0.4.1 from the software center.
Following steps were used:
1 Run keepassx.
2 click cancel to get back to a blank screen.
3 click the new icon to get a SET MASTER KEY dialog
4 enter a password
5 click OK
6 enter the password again
7 click ok.
8 Make a new entry using the add new entry dialog
9 fill out the entry
10 close the entry dialog
11 Save the database as test.kdb
12 Close Keepassx
13 run keepassx again
14 navigate to the keypass file that was saved - if the keyfile does not
show it.
15 enter the password as before
16 Observe the error that says the Hash test failed. The key is wrong or
the file is damaged.
The attached file has the secret "secret" with no quotes.
So keepassx is completely useless as far as I can tell.
thanks,
windy

I cannot reproduce this here.
btw: I do not understand the second point: when starting KeePassX, I get straight to the main window, nothing to cancel. And what black screen?
I can verify however that opening your test file fails, with the error you've mentioned.
Saving a new file myself works however. I'm attaching mine for testing. Password is 12345.
