I guess a package that was installed by root and later on checked by a regular user or some such, so that permissions do not match. I think I'd try to remove the package from all libraries and try again. And note that network drives/mounts may be the source of such a problem when some listings

IANAL, too, but if you are indeed extending (i.e. embedding or copying) another package, then you need to put all copyright holders into the LICENSE file. In the individual files, you can explain who has the copyright for what. If you don't change the copied files at all, that is simple, just add
