#406 Please rebuild passwordsafe-ubuntu-0.92BETA.i686.deb without Yubikey dependency

[AleR]

The build 0.92BETA requires libykpers version >= 1.7 which is not available for 12.04.

I tried installing passwordsafe-ubuntu-0.92BETA.i686.deb ignoring this dependency (dpkg --ignore...) and it does install, but when I run it, it shows the error:

pwsafe: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libykpers-1.so.1: version `LIBYKPERS_1.7' not found (required by pwsafe)

Could you please rebuild this package without Yubikey support?

There is a similar open thread, but it seems to be about the 64-bit package, while this is about the i686 version.

Thanks!

This problem also exists in Ubuntu 14.04, where the libykpers version is >=1.7. Transcript follows

However, libykpers is installed, at version 1.14.1:
