`file_copy` with `overwrite = TRUE` permission problem

[tentacles-from-outer-space]

I ran into strange behavior with file_copy.

When another user with the same group create file (with rw-rw-rw- permissions) then

library(fs)

file_info("tmp-tst-copy.txt")$permissions # rw-rw-rw-
file_access("tmp-tst-copy.txt", "write") # TRUE

file_copy("tmp-tst-origin.txt", "tmp-tst-copy.txt", overwrite = TRUE)
Error: [EPERM] Failed to copy 'tmp-tst-origin.txt' to 'tmp-tst-copy.txt': operation not permitted

But actually file is removed (so runing command second time works as the destination file does not exists).

There is no problem with file_delete("tmp-tst-copy.txt"). There is no problem with system command cp tmp-tst-origin.txt tmp-tst-copy.txt
