I guess a package that was installed by root and later on checked by a regular user or some such, so that permissions do not match.

I think I'd try to remove the package from all libraries and try again. And note that network drives/mounts may be the source of such a problem when some listings are disabled.

Best,

Do you have any thoughts on where specifically to look? Permissions of
the library or of the current dir?

I also wondered if it might be caused by a recursive link that caused
the size inspection to never finish, but there aren't any symlinks in
the package.

I have one student in a class of ~60 students who has this problem.
The package source is at https://github.com/hadley/rv2/tree/check-me,
but it seems unlikely to be related to the package as it works for
everyone else.
