Whit this permissions I could now successful install pivpn without my workaround. I was already questioning myself, why I couldn’t read the file before. Then I found https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/5987 and https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/pull/6002
There seems to be one process setting it to 644 (rw-r--r--) and an other setting it to 640 (rw-r-----), which should be become the new default. As my default user is not in the pihole group I coudnd't read the file, when the process setting it to 640 was the last one.
On my fresh installation ls -l /etc/pihole/versions returns
