If you have one file under addons owned by root, then perhaps others are,
and in particular the files under ~addons/config which should be updated
when you use pacman.
I suggest that you either run pacman in sudo, or give yourself write access

You can install addons
please make sure that,
1. running j with sudo for using pacman
2. update the package list
3. confirm the version of package is correct.
you may download tgz manually, but remember to chown/chmod after untar.

Somehow your ~addons/config/addons.txt file is out of date. Could you try
again, and check whether the package manager is updating that file? Also,
do you
I am using j64-804 in an Ubuntu 12.04 system. Tried to install the
debug/dissect package with the package manager and get:
