Thanks for spotting that — you’re right. This PR is not a duplicate; it
changes the version-check warning to include the underlying exception
reason. I’ll update the news fragment to reflect that specifically (the one
currently in the PR was accidentally copied from #13790).

Fixes a misleading warning emitted when the self version check fails (e.g. due to an inaccessible cache directory).
This keeps behavior unchanged (still a warning) but appends the exception type/message to make the underlying cause visible.
Tests: added a unit test that simulates a PermissionError and asserts the warning includes the reason.
Refs: #13352
Note: if you’d prefer less verbose output, I can shorten the warning to include only the exception type and keep full details in the debug log/traceback.
