Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-5
Severity: normal
Hi
I just upgraded my system and the upgrade failed with this message:
Setting up screen (4.0.3-5) ...
The new location of screen's socket directory, /tmp/.screen, is
occupied by something else. Please move it aside.
dpkg: error processing screen (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
screen
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I do have the /tmp/.screen directory in question:
drwxrwxr-x 2 root utmp 4096 2007-09-26 12:54 .screen
But I do not recall doing anything special to screen.
Is there a problem with the postinst script?
Cheers
Steffen

Version: 4.0.3-7
Hi Steffen,
4.0.3-4 to 4.0.3-7 was a bumpy ride because changing the socket dir
on the fly was just *begging* for trouble. After some more discussion
on #d-devel I moved the directory back and cleared up the mess. All
this never hit testing, so I'm closing the bug now. If there are
still systems that fail the upgrade, clean de- and re-installation
should do it.
Regards,
Jan
