	* lib/storage.py
	(ProfileStorage.extract.copy_preserving_permissions):  New helper
	function.  When populating the scratch home directory, we may get
	read-only files from /etc/skel which we need to overwrite with
	files from the zipped user profile (like ~/.gnu-emacs from
	openSUSE - it's read-only).  However, we can't write to these
	files since they are read-only.  So, we first save the
	permissions, then unlink the file, write the new file, and restore
	the permissions.  See
	https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230018#c11
	(ProfileStorage.extract): Use copy_preserving_permissions().
