Thanks for reporting. Uhm…

I imagine you are installing it while offline. Which should be fine, because debtags will try to use the previously existing data files.

However, I now realise that the data files shipped with debtags itself are not considered in case download fails. And this is a bug that definitely deserves serious status.

I'll try to have it fixed in the next release; it shouldn't be too hard.

In the meantime, if you want to get rid of the error you can:

1) run 'debtags update' while online

or

2) copy the files shipped in the package to the place where the
   downloader would expect them:

zcat /usr/share/debtags/tags-current.gz > /var/cache/debtags/people.debian.org_%7eenrico_tags_tags-current.gz
cp /usr/share/debtags/vocabulary /var/cache/debtags/people.debian.org_%7eenrico_tags_vocabulary.gz
