Comment 1 Charles R. Anderson 2020-12-08 21:20:21 UTC

Not a fix, but this is the info provided by kpcli upstream:

Version 4 of the KDBX file format is unsupported

KeePass 2.35 introduced version 4 of the KDBX file format (KDBXv4) and it is unsuported by File::KeePass. File::KeePass can only decrypt databases encrypted with AES and newer KeePass versions offer ChaCha20, which will also save the file as KDBXv4. You can use the File -> Database Settings -> Security tab to change the encryption algorithm to AES/Rijndael and, as of KeePass 2.46, kpcli will be able to operate on the files. https://keepass.info/help/kb/kdbx_4.html

Comment 2 Matías Kreder 2021-04-24 22:52:08 UTC

As stated by Charles R. Anderson this file format is not supported by kpcli.
