Installing Keepassxc with snap package

#1 Post by Budgie »

I couldn't find keepassxc using synaptic package manager. I was only offered keepassx so I am trying to install the keepassxc snap package.
This is my first attempt at installing and using snap so I may have made a mistake but all appeared to be OK until the last message:-

Code: Select all

alastair@x3400debian:~$ sudo snap install keepassxc
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Mount snap "keepassxc" (978) (cannot find required base "core18")
alastair@x3400debian:~$ 

Seems I have something missing. Please could somebody help, either to get snap package to work or give me the repo I must go to for an installation using synaptic.
Many thanks,
Budgie

That of course begs the question of which Debian release you're using, and your sources.list if you should be able to see it:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw ... ection=all

I'm going to try and build the final 2.6.0 release tonight for MX Linux repos. :D

That is a good point. I am currently running Debian 9 and have only used:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt upgrade
Just tried your full command and this is what I received:-

No idea why I get the invalid operation. Will need to read more!

OK, on further reading I have found the command given was slightly in error but I think my problem is that I now need to change to Debian 10 as it appears the package I was looking for is not in Debian 9. I am therefore upgrading to Buster. Will report results in due course. Meanwhile many thanks for the replies.

OK so now I have Debian 10 installed and KeePassXC from repo so all is good.
The upgrade was fun too!

It's already been backported, that's why it's already in stretch-backports. Backporting does not mean to install a package that has already been built!

OP, I see that you ignored the link in my post that showed that it was not available in the main Stretch repos. That's not a good habit to get. BTW, I also have newer versions than stretch-backports in my own repo, too, so I know what I'm talking about: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... /keepassxc

I was successful in backporting 2.6.0 for the Stretch-based MX 17/18 repository, so I'll try to get that into this OBS repo tomorrow.

Hi and many thanks for the help. I had no intention of snubbing your advice on backports, it is just that I intended to upgrade anyhow and the absence of the application from the main repo site was just a further incentive.
I see you work on MX. I still use Antix on my old laptop so may need some help there is due course.
Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
Budgie

Anyway, KeepassXC 2.6.0 is now available in my OBS repos and the MX test repos.
