I had a hunch that something had changed. I suppose that I could revert to
stable builds. But unless it can be resolved in future, I will still have to
deal with it whenever I finally upgrade out of Devuan Beowulf. That will be a
few more years, as it is an LTS release, so I can at least work around it for
a while.
Thanks, Slavek!

You seem to have now installed TDE 14.1.0~pre - ie repository PTB. Unlike
R14.0.x, tdm in PTB has fixed dependence on libtdeldap, which has fixed
dependence on kerberos. Currently, you cannot uninstall libtdeldap and
kerberos packages in R14.1.0~pre. Uninstalling the kdesktop-trinity
package is not a good idea because it provides desktop as such.
Exactly this dependence on libtdeldap and kerberos is one of the points
that is blocking R14.1.0 to be considered ready for release.

Okay, so some more information on this issue. An old note to myself
advises *not* to install kdesktop-trinity, as this "installs
ldap-heimdal-kerberos krap!" And this does ring a faint bell.
When I try to uninstall this package, however, I am told that this
cannot be done without uninstalling lots of Trinity stuff. In
particular, konqueror-trinity depends on kdesktop-trinity.
(Sorry I cannot give more information, but readers may recall that I
have a hard drive that crashed, which I still have yet to recover; and
on that drive I kept very detailed notes about such issues, and moreover
managed to keep my life organized and reasonably tidy; now everything is
a mess, and I am working to rebuild what was lost.)
It seems to be kerberos that interferes with changing passwords; heimdal
must get dragged in with it. In any case, I have superstitiously avoided
both; I don't know quite what they do, but they don't suit my purposes.
Regarding ldap, that doesn't seem to be a problem with Trinity ldap
packages, only other ldap that get called as dependencies.
So, if I can uninstall kdesktop-trinity without also removing other
crucial packages, this (at least, according to my notes) ought to
resolve the issue.
