You may try uninstalling KeePass and reinstalling with this command:

zypper in keepass*

Maybe some dependency got not installed. I’m using KeePass 2.21 installed from Index of /repositories/Mono:/Community/openSUSE_12.3 and it works.

bonedriven · August 30, 2013, 12:09pm

Well I uninstalled that and installed keepassx and it worked on keepass.db well, though I have no idea what are the difference.

Maybe a bit late but I just installed Keepass 2.21 but had to install the Mono_Complete package to get it to run. All
the missing libraries you displayed are Microsoft.net files, Mono is a Linux port of .NET. I installed via the software manager
it’s easier to see what dependencies are required.

Typically even a simple MS program requires countless dependencies to run.

I would suggest using keepassx instead. You can install it from security repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/

tsu2 · March 5, 2014, 4:13pm

When suggesting a repo, you can also provide the command line that adds the repo for the people who are new to openSUSE. If you are running openSUSE 13.1 the following adds the Security repo to your system and refreshes your repos so you’re immediately ready to search for apps in that repo. Accept the GPG key when you’re prompted. If you’re running a different system, typically you only need to modify that part of the URL followed by modifying the repo name you’ve chosen.

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security/openSUSE_13.1/ openSUSE_13.1:Security && zypper refresh

I was not sure which version he is using and that that he could reply if he ran into any problems!
