Neither.

ideintf/texttools.pas is part of the IDEIntf package, which is only built when you compile the IDE.
This is not needed when compiling a project and neither when installing
a package.
I wonder, what you did exactly to get this error.

When you install a package the IDE has to rebuild only the lazarus
executable. When you installed lazarus via deb package the lazarus
folder is only writable by root. The IDE checks if the folder is
writable and puts the new executable into ~/.lazarus/bin/.

So normally a normal user can install packages.
