Hi,


thanks for your hint. But setting Migration flag to false did not help.
Since I did set up an old ubuntu version already I have little hope that
an old gentoo would help.


But it seems a last hope if nothing elase works.


Any other ideas to recover my passwords? Since I know my master password
and I have the salt and the kwl files, is there a cli tool just to
decrypt the contents and dump it? Or is there a description of the data
format of the kwl file, so I could write it myself?


Michael.
