Augtool insists on writing to the filesystem, even if it does not
need to make any changes. For instance, the following fails because
/etc is mounted read-only, and hence /etc/ssh/sshd_config.augnew
cannot be written (strace attached):
augtool> print /files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/PermitRootLogin
/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/PermitRootLogin = "without-password"
augtool> set /files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/PermitRootLogin without-password
augtool> print /files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/PermitRootLogin
/files/etc/ssh/sshd_config/PermitRootLogin = "without-password"
augtool> save
Saving failed
Please use a temporary directory for writing temporary files.

Control: fixed -1 0.7.4-0ubuntu1
So, it's been more than 6 years with no feedback about this bug, so I am
going to close it.
The original report contained an example where an existing node was set
to the same value. After that the "save" command failed because augtool
was not allowed to create the $PATH.augnew file that is needed to
atomically replace the configuration file.
The offered patch went into upstream version 0.7.4 (2010-11-19). I can't
reproduce the issue as reported with the current 1.7.0-1 package.
Cheers,
-Hilko
