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

Status in “approx” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
