Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-14
Severity: important
Hi screen
Screen is very important for us; and it is too useful.
Please screen is typed from the console (tty or under X11), on many users and
it gives that
"Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/2' - please check"
First:
"please check" please remove it
It is not our job to check and fix the code of screen, since users are not
affiliated to sourceforge as developper of screen
second:
The bug, - yes it is a bug, is remaining, getting back sometimes, in some
distro, and sometimes working.
Well under debian stable it was ok, but now the bug is there.
This bug is like the cancer of "Screen". Please fix it for once, and - well,
so that there is not ever such issue, appearing each time that a new distro is
release.
If it is too much work, please ask for help for developers, and I am sure
that you will get help.
Thanks a lot being developing
May Tux be with You and Screen,
Kind regards
Y.
