            Bug ID: 464139
           Summary: Filelight cannot calculate file size of
                    /var/lib/docker
    Classification: Applications
           Product: filelight
           Version: 22.12.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

/var/lib/docker needs root permission to read the content. So Filelight cannot
calculate the size.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install docker
2. Run: docker pull mysql
3. Run: filelight /var/lib

OBSERVED RESULT
Filelight will ignore the size of /var/lib/docker

EXPECTED RESULT
Filelight should show the size of /var/lib/docker

When meet folders/files require extra permission, Filelight can use PolicyKit
to get root permission, and re-run the scanning.
