Discover Software Center still stuck on Keepass 2.44

[SuperSapien64]

The Discover Software Center is still stuck on Keepass 2.44 even though the latest version is 2.47.
I thought on Kubuntu 20.04 was suppose to be using the latest and greatest version of Keepass2.

Ummm ...no.
Well, maybe it was the latest back in April 2020,when 20.04 was released.

Software in Ubuntu releases are pretty much locked to what versions are used at release time, with a few exceptions. Firefox being the main one.
This is no rolling release. Particularly for LTS versions.
If you want newer stuff in *buntu, you need to upgrade every 6 months, or find alternate sources (PPAs, if someone has created one for a particular item)


21.04 will have 2.47.

Well on my Linux Mint laptop I'm using the Keepass 2 PPA and it on and its on version 2.45 even though latest version is 2.47.
So I guess even if I was using the PAA on my Kubuntu desktop I wouldn't be using a much higher version.

You are dependent on whomever maintains the PPA to provide up to date versions of things, but it may also depend on system dependencies, if a newer version requires something newer than 20.04 provides.


But if it is this one
https://launchpad.net/~jtaylor/+archive/ubuntu/keepass
the creator has not done anything new since last May.

Yeah that developer sometimes gets a little sidetracked sometimes.

BTW I tried the PPA for Keepass 2 in Linux Mint 20.1 in VirtualBox 6 (based off Ubuntu 20.04.1) and it works fine.

KeePassXC is an up-to-date fork with a PPA..

Nah I tried that one and I don't like the interface. I prefer Keepass 2.

I just uninstalled Keepasss2 using the Synaptic Manager then I rebooted my system and installed the PPA and now I'm running Keepass 2.5 and its working just fine.
Now I just need to get a-hold of the dev for Debian/Ubuntu version and ask him/her to update it.
