How can I fix that? My system is debian12 on a cloud VPS, and frequent updates are enabled.

Somehow ttrss is configured with a wrong database password. Could you try running this command through SSH?
sudo apt-get purge tt-rss
And then try installing it again.

I ran into the same issue as @fn7yk33zq and @jvalleroy’s solution of purging tt-rss and reinstalling worked for me. Thank you!

Did this happen on the latest version of FreedomBox? (because I believed I fixed the issued recently)

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) and FreedomBox version 24.16. FreedomBox is up to date.
