As I suspected, this is not a bug in edquota.
Someone has set the VISUAL environment variable to the empty string for
the root user. You will want to undo that.
It should work just fine if you run:
# unset VISUAL
# edquota username
Thanks!

Could you please run "env" as root? Preferably after running
`edquota username`, which has failed with this error message.
