Bug Description

Binary package hint: wyrd

If I hit 'e' inside wyrd, I get a message "/bin/sh: /home/aaron/.reminders: Permission denied"

If I copy /etc/wyrdrc ~/.wyrdrc and then change the following lines:

set edit_old_command="${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} +%line% %file%"
set edit_new_command="${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} +999999 %file%"
set edit_any_command="${VISUAL:-$EDITOR} %file%"

to

set edit_old_command="vim +%line% %file%"
set edit_new_command="vim +999999 %file%"
set edit_any_command="vim %file%"

I stop getting the permission denied error and everything works correctly. This is on a new install of 9.10 alpha.
