Public bug reported:
I am using Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS and package version
systemd:
Installed: 229-4ubuntu21.10
Candidate: 229-4ubuntu21.10

When a unit is enabled with
systemctl enable <unit file>
and overrides are applied with
systemctl edit <unit name>
and subsequently the unit is disabled with
systemctl disable <unit name>
the override file that is created and its directory
/etc/systemd/system/<unit name>.d/override.conf
is not removed. Subsequent attempts to enable the same unit will fail
with the misleading and unhelpful error message
Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument
Removing the override file and directory will fix the problem.
