Or you'll have "missing" standard components: the ones eventually added in newer libraries.

Simply install in your home and REMOVE unmodified components. Migration done. > I could use the modules as normal, but now I had to make a change on one > module.

Your user should have rights to write to /usr/share/kicad/ , not only to the files in it.: saving a modified lib implies various steps: read the old one, save it modified (here you get the error, if you can't write to the dir) unser a temporary name, delete the original lib (another permission error) and finally rename the temp file to the original name (yet another permission error).
