it's not in 20.04. you'll have to either run it in VirtualBox or lxc (in a xenial VM) or export your file to xml and import into keepass. I recommend the second.

the revelation website says a new version has been released. you could git clone that and build from source.

there's no easy way though. better to migrate to keepass.

Are you running revelation as root?

The instructions I posted are meant to run in a terminal (gnome-terminal) as a normal user, not root.

It seems that the code should undergo a deep re-writing to avoid cyclic imports:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/local/bin/revelation", line 30, in <module>

from revelation import config, data, datahandler, dialog, entry, io, ui, util

ImportError: cannot import name 'config' from 'revelation' (unknown location)

Hi Ladlie,

Miquel already explained in a previous mail:

https://groups.google.com/g/revelation-password/c/JMncqB3VYq0/m/Y930RDaaGAAJ

Other option is to use flatpak version:

flatpak install flathub info.olasagasti.revelation

Not an Ubuntu edition expert myself, but as they share the same base,
the same steps should work.

Quite different system (Debian Bullseye) but same problem; the installer puts the packages in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/revelation, but python wants them in /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages. A simple copy worked for me, and now I have back my working Revelation.

I am getting the following error now using the above steps

```configure: error: failed to find module Cryptodome

workspace@Ladlie-Inspiron-3593:~/build/revelation$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
workspace@Ladlie-Inspiron-3593:~/build/revelation$ sudo make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

we moved from crypto to cryptodome after Miquel wrote that, so you
need to install python3-pycryptodome:

apt install python3-pycryptodome

I've checked and if "configure --prefix=$HOME/.local" is used, the
sites-packages part can be ignored, as everything will be installed in
$HOME/.local
