Thanks Lisi for the idea, however the desease would have to be TDE-internal: 
this is a brand new install on a formated partition and the only repos added 
are deb-multimedia and TDE's.

I tried this. By the way, reading the header of TDE's Packages list, I read:

Origin: LP-PPA-trinity-trinity-r14.0.0
Label: Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.0
Suite: jessie
Version: 8.0
Codename: jessie
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 22:13:40 UTC
Architectures: amd64 armel armhf i386 ppc64el
Components: main
Description: Ubuntu Jessie 8.0

Does that mean Ubuntu and Jessie share the same binary?

Anyway, I downloaded kpackage from the TDE repositories and installed it new - 
no change. So the origin of the problem is deeper.

Deloptes says he's seen this "before TDE", so I assume KDE 3, and with Gnome 
programs. I guess somehow these program makes a call for password using 
some "software" that is both "wrong" enough not to process the answer to the 
right place but "right" enough not to throw some usable error - but this is a 
very theoretical guess and I'm afraid I'm totaly unable to go scout the code 
to find what it could be.

As there are workarounds, I can live with this.

You say your install does not show that. How did you install Jessie (I mean 
what UI did you choose prior to installing TDE)? Maybe this could have an 
effect on the behaviour.

I installed with Gnome 3. Installing TDE removes some Gnome programs because 
of "incompatibilities", maybe the source of the problem is there?

Have a nice day,
