Bug Description

Binary package hint: approx

When I have my approx cache on it's own filesystem, gc_approx complains:

/var/cache/approx/.lost+found: Permission denied

I think approx should either except explicitly known filesystem artifacts such as lost+found, or simply skip over directories which it does not have permission to operate in.

Hi Brian, this was fixed in v3.5-1 of the package:

approx (3.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * Handle unreadable directories like lost+found more robustly

Marking as Fix Released.
