lacks write permission. "-f" will overwrite such a file, assuming
the user has permission to grant themselves write permission.
Presumably it actually will go ahead iff the user has write
permissions in the containing directory and (the file is owned by the
user or sticky is unset). You don't need write permissions on a file
to delete the file, and cp could just delete the in-the-way file in
order to create its new file.
