Okay, after hours of searching the web and trying various configurations I managed to solve the bug described above. Here is what worked for me:

The cause of the error was a missmatch of the source directory path saved in the package files and the actual installation path of the packages. The reason for this was that I created the binaries (github clone) with the sudo command. This must have set the path to the directory of the root, while they were actually installed in the directory of the current user.

The solution was to give write priviliges for the folder in which the container was to be built (adehome) to the current user.

This allowed the user to clone the src files and run colcon build without the sudo command, therefore eliminating the directory missmatch and the error message described above.
