Alexios,
build_vignettes=FALSE allows twinkle to install without error.
xcolor was already installed but it appears to put stuff in a
slightly different latex path:
/usr/share/texmf-site/tex/latex/xcolor/xcolor.sty
vs
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/appendix/appendix.sty
I know nothing about latex at all and this is using much more of
your time than I intended so I'm not sure we should go much further at
this point but if there's something here to fix I'm happy to help.
Cheers,
Mark
