The "kcheckpass"-binary was removed from kscreenlocker over a year ago, 
because it was obsolete.
Hence, distributions cannot ship the binary as it is not built anymore.

If you cannot unlock your screen, a simple "It doesn't work" is 
unfortunately not sufficient to debug it. The first thing you can do is to  
create a new user on your system and try to unlock the screen with that 
user.
That will tell you whether something is wrong with the system or just 
with your default user.

Bug#894892: libkscreenlocker5: The file "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kcheckpass" is NOT existent in the stable package.

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Package: libkscreenlocker5
Followup-For: Bug #894892

Dear Maintainer,

I discovered, that in the bookworm repo in the package libscreenlocker5, the 
mentioned file "kcheckpass" is not existent. Thus the above workaround does not 
work. 

I also tried to manually copy the file from bullseye with no success and 
suppose, kcheckpass from bullseye is incompatible with bookworm. Please repack 
the lib with the missing file.

Thank you very much.

Best regards

Hans
