Motivation for this change

file_exists also returns FALSE if the file is in a directory that
can't be read by the user. This e.g. happens if permissions for
nixops(1)-deployment keys aren't configured correctly.

This patch improves the error message for invalid files to avoid
confusion[1].

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

`file_exists` also returns `FALSE` if the file is in a directory that
can't be read by the user. This e.g. happens if permissions for
`nixops(1)`-deployment keys aren't configured correctly.

This patch improves the error message for invalid files to avoid
confusion[1].
