Following an update from bookworm to trixie on one system, my regular user
account is no longer able to edit its crontab file on that system.
When I execute "crontab -e", I receive the message: "No modification made" and
an editor opens on a blank file.
The user's crontab file does exist:
sudo ls -al /var/spool/cron/crontabs shows:
-rw------- 1 n7dr crontab 2981 Sep 2 2023 n7dr
and, indeed, that file seems to be being processed correctly by cron. But I
just can't read and edit it with "crontab -e" :-(
I have no idea why this system is different: the problem doesn't occur on two
other systems that have been upgraded.
Suggestions welcome.
