Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu version
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release: 16.04
and systemd package Version: 229-4ubuntu21.10
When the --full argument is used with systemctl edit a confirm prompt of
...some.service" already exists. Overwrite with "..."? [(y)es, (n)o]
is issued. Since the systemctl edit command won't function w/o a unit
file in place the message tells the user something they already know.
There appears to be no way to bypass this message, so it makes running
systemctl edit from a script more difficult.
** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
