Issue when running conan config install [...] (existing settings.yml is read-only!)

Installing settings.yml

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\\TC\\work\\3895a438cac8f82f\\.conan\\settings.yml

In Linux the issue doesn't occur.
In my case the cause was a read only permission in the "source" configuration directory. In my mind conan config install should overwrite read-only files (in conan cache) and shouldn't copy file permissions.

I am concerned that this might break for other users. We had the case of @fulara that used different users (the reason the above os.remove() was introduced). copyfile copy with permissions, something that was avoided.

Isn't it possible to achieve the same without changing this line?

Actually in my origianl request:
#6556

I explained how in my opinion the copyfile would resolve my issue,
it is because the copyfile unlike copy does not change the owner of the file, it just replaces the contents.

In this case though the file is removed if it exists so this should be fine.
Hence the chnge should be fine in my opinion.

shutil.copyfile copies without permissions :-)

shutil:

copy() copies the file data and the file’s permission mode (see os.chmod()). Other metadata, like the file’s creation and modification times, is not preserved. To preserve all file metadata from the original, use copy2() instead.

copyfile(): Copy the contents (no metadata) of the file [...]
