I also run Devuan Beowulf. It may not be specifically the ldap packages for Trinity, but rather whatever other ldap packages get called as dependencies; the real problem is kerberos and heimdal. Whenever I have them installed, then I kerberos comes up when I try to change my password (manually, by command-line), and I get that same error message. I generally just purge kerberos* heimdal* ldap* (which wipes out my essential Trinity packages); but then I still have shells open, so I use dpkg to force installation of old TDE packages. Everything looks normal again, no more problems with passwords or kerberos; so I can wrestle the machine into submission. But as I responded to Nik, it doesn't answer the question of why I keep having that problem only about once a year or so. I seldom change anything or try anything new, and if I do, I make a note of them.
