The dig att file won't tell you whether it is a line or an area edge.
You need to v.out.ascii. In that file, "L" is a line, "l" is an
erased line, "A" is an area edge, and "a" is an erased area edge.
Use vi or awk or whatever to change L to A.
If you want to have both, I suggest you use v.digit, or change all
to whichever is most common and then v.in.ascii, and v.digit the
rest back.
