Hi Nils,
it sounds correct. But on the other hand downloading the fonts per wget
and simply reconfiguring the packet worked without any further errors.
That is what I meant. Ubuntu is indeed a debian derivative and using
debian packages should be working, but ...

An error message at the very end of a long list of accomplished
messages. Annoying! I don't understand it. I mean the required file is

The directory /root (including subdirectories) is only accessible by
root and obviously the installer tried to access the file as another
user (_apt).
