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.

Thanks for the bug report. That one's my fault, as it was due to this patch:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=ba0605779e0e207161441c08afdfac57ed603f69
which fixed a problem elsewhere but introduced a bug. I installed the attached
patch to fix things.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix insert-file-contents file error regression
Problem reported for dired-view-file (Bug#37950).
* src/fileio.c (Finsert_file_contents): When visiting,
signal an error if the file could not be opened for any reason,
rather than signaling an error only for nonexistent files, fixing
a bug introduced in 2019-09-16T03:17:43!eggert@cs.ucla.edu.
