IncorrectKey Error when using Keyfile generated by KeePassXC Windows

[opensource25]

I tried to diff to databases because of a syncing conflict. I now use Linux but generated the key files under windows with KeePassXC. When I run RUSTBACKTRACE=1 keepass-diff db1.kdbx db1.sync-conflict.kdbx --same-password --keyfiles keyfile.keyx this error occurs.

The password is not the problem trying on a database without keyfile it works and I typed correct. What can I do?

Hi @opensource25 , can you open the files individually with a regular client and the keyfile on Linux? If yes, a workaround for you could be to change / remove the keyfile individually and diff those files then.

Keyfiles should work in general though, so if it doesn't work with a keyfile that you can use to open it with a regular client, there is some bug and it would be helpful if you could provide a reproducer.

One issue that I saw occuring when working with Linux and Windows were different line endings. If your keyfile is text based, maybe there was an issue with that, when moving the file from one system to the other?

Thanks for a very useful tool. I get kdbx sync conflicts in Syncthing all the time and this tool helps. I am having this issue on Windows too. I will reply if I can get a minimal repro.
