I have just upgraded a HP z640 system from Bookworm to Trixie and fwupd gives
the following errors on startup:

What is it expecting to find on port 2321?  Could we get it to give a more
informative error message about whatever it is doing?

Do you have a TPM on your machine?  I believe what you're seeing is a
case the the TPM2 stack can't find a physical TPM so it tries to connect
to a software TPM on the typical socket swtpm would run on.
