Bug#812110: KeePassX 0.4 and KeePassX 2.0 should be in different packages



Hi guys

I was irritated by this name collision for long time until I finally did something about it. Here is my solution. Hope somebody with upload privileges will publish it for everybody.

Run the attached script ant it will download latest release, patch it to a new name keepassx1, build it and it will hopefully work for you as it is working for me.

Warm regards  marjan
