[Bug 2024406] Re: sudo systemctl edit snapd.service fails to save changes

[Tim Richardson]

Sorry, I can not reproduce this bug. When I try again after a reboot it
works.

Title:
   sudo systemctl edit snapd.service fails to save changes

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  IN 22.04 this command

  
  sudo systemctl edit snapd.service

  opens the default editor. 
  Upon exiting, changes are saved

  In 23.04, exiting gives this error:

  Editing "/etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/override.conf" canceled:
  temporary file is empty.

  and changes are not saved.

  This happens with nano as the default editor, and vim.tiny as the default editor. 
  Explicitly saving changes makes no difference to the problem. 

  I can't find any help resources about this problem.

  by using

  systemctl show -p FragmentPath snapd.service

  I can find the file and edit it manually, as a workaround.
