what i have done:

1. check /etc/default/locale and find this LANG=en_US.UTF-8 2. expect is installed 3. Check the script /usr/lib/courier/courier-authlib/authsystem.passwd, permission and possible malconfigured line, but anything seems to be ok. 4. Googled, but just find ino about the "locale" value and about expect.

a few months ago i have a similar issue and changing the locale value helped me a lot, but not this time.

This is unlikely, because the first thing expect does is

set env(LC_ALL) "en_US"

One frequent problem is if you have cracklib enabled in PAM, and the password gets rejected as too weak, but because the output from PAM is thrown away, all that happens is that the new password gets rejected.

Try this:

( echo "oldpassword"; echo "newpassword" ) | authsystem.passwd

and see what happens.
