msgid "The file exists or is write-protected; do you want to overwrite it?"

---------------

The question is: how a file can be write-protected and non-existing at the same time?


The string says something like this:
1. if the file exists, then it's dangerous to overwrite it, and
2. if the file is write-protected, then it's dangerous to overwrite it.

Having the first statement, the second one is unnecessary (it's a partial case of the condition if the first statement).
