bug#37950: 27.0.50; File error regression


From: Juri Linkov
Subject: bug#37950: 27.0.50; File error regression

User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/27.0.50 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

0. emacs -Q

1. in Dired type 'v' ('dired-view-file') to view a read-protected file, e.g.
   from non-root to visit a file with such permissions: -rw------- root root

2. Empty buffer is displayed (but the file size is several kilobytes)

3. The echo area displays the message:

   View mode: type C-h for help, h for commands, q to quit.

4. Visiting *Messages* reveals the error message:

   Note: file is write protected

obscured by the View mode message above.

But this error message is wrong anyway.  In previous versions
the error message was correct:

    find-file-noselect-1: File is not readable:

and it rightfully refused to visit the read-protected file.
