Hi Bill,
Yes, this looks close to my own configuration. 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.

error message:
"unable to change expired password: Authentication token manipulation
error"
But when I try to remove these pkgs, pretty much all essential TDE
packages get removed.
on my Devuan GNU+Linux beowulf system with TDE R14.0.10 (PSB) no
kerberos and no heimdal is installed. For "ldap" I find these, installed
by dependency:
$ aptitude search "?installed(ldap)"
i A libaprutil1-ldap - Apache Portable Runtime Utility Library - LDAP
Driver i A libldap-2.4-2 - OpenLDAP libraries
i A libldap-common - OpenLDAP common files for libraries
What are the dependencies?
$ for package in libaprutil1-ldap libldap-2.4-2 libldap-common; do aptitude
why "$package"; done i task-web-server Depends apache2
i A apache2 Depends apache2-bin (= 2.4.38-3+deb10u4)
i A apache2-bin Depends libaprutil1-ldap
i tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity Depends libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7)
i tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity Depends libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7)
i A libldap-2.4-2 Depends libldap-common
This means: libldap-2.4-2 is installed because
tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity depends on it and it pulls also
libldap-common.
I have never had any problems to change passwords.

Kind regards, Stefan
