Does it also happen if you start "emacs -Q"? That means, no Tramp
artifacts to be used from previous installations.

Does it help to call "M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections" before trying
to connect somewhere?

If it still does not work, please eval (setq tramp-verbose) before you
run your test. There will be a Tramp debug buffer then.

Best regards, Michael.
