sudoedit mount error

[00sapo]

I installed debian 12 on my laptop using the Spiral Linux image.
I then removed the backports repos and the pins to them (it was pinning the kernel and the nvidia drivers).

I still have a couple of misconfigurations, one of which is that sudoedit is not working. Example:

$ sudoedit /hello
[sudo] password for federico:
create mount dir error: Permission denied
sudoedit: /hello unchanged

It works with sudo $EDITOR /hello.

Just for info, here are the filesystems mounted:

$ ls /tmp/c 
/tmp/c

Hi there, I don't have this problem on my system. It appears that you have an LVM installation, which is not supported in SpiralLinux because the Calamares installer doesn't properly support LVM: calamares/calamares#2343

Nope, it's not an LVM:

Hmm, sorry I can't be of more help, as far as I know /dev/dm-0 only appears with LVM.

Found that EDITOR=nano sudoedit /hello just works. So the problem is about my neovim installation (the debian's neovim works as well)

Thanks for confirming the solution.
