'df' shows lots of free space. Also, the directory and file (/etc/cdd/cdd.conf) does exist after installation. I don't understand why the error message occurs. Could it be because /usr/share/menu/cdd-menu is before /etc/cdd/cdd.conf in the file list? Here is something else I tried which shows the error occurs during the unpack phase, even if unpacking twice in a row.
