I installed Tasksel and ran it. It listed various choices and I chose #19, Debian Console Games. I got an "Access denied" error. I tried with and without sudo as well as using su to try it from root. […]
I tried myself a couple of ways and I couldn't get a similar error. Without sudo it tells me it doesn't have the rights (not very obvious, but not that arcane), and through sudo it works just fine. I tried Debian 11 and 12 as well… Only difference I see is that I run amd64 only, so maybe there's a bug in the i386 arch??
Anyhow, you could workaround installing games-console manually instead of going through tasksel. And possibly report a bug against tasksel if there's really something wrong there.
