Hello forum,
->I am using the 1604 desktop version too and package autogen is
correctly found and installable. Try to do an update first and then
install it:->sudo apt update->sudo apt install autogen
Thank's a lot for the continued help! Unfortunately no success :-(

I am wondering if including all required software* into a single
ntopng.deb would be a good idea... I think this is called static
binary. E.g. i do have a deb of Google Earth which can be installed
easily on different distributions, even live systems.
Is it very hard to offer a *deb of ntopng with includes all
dependecies?

Very likely this is an issue connected with the use of a live cd.
