Speednut--I'm replying wicked late, but I've been trying to get KeePass rolling on my Maemo device for a while, to no avail. When I tried to install KeePass from file, as you did, I encountered missing packages (libqt4-core, libqt4-gui). I tried the apt-get approach, and after executing the command was returned back to "$" prompt. So, I should have been successful, no? I wasn't.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could talk me through the steps that worked. I know it's been a year, and KeePass might be passe and now you're into flying cars...or just waiting on Fremantle...but it would be a major thing to be able to run it.

Thanks much!

This actually went and retrieved, then installed all the Qt4 dependencies and also fetched the keepass app. Install was successful, but no app icon was installed into the app launcher. I had to launch it from the X-Term "/usr/bin/keepass &". Weird.
