Package: screen
Version: 4.0.2-4.1
Severity: normal

When starting screen or opening a new window or using "C-a L" I get
the error message "Could not write /var/run/utmp: No such process".

This is a mips machine with / on nfs.  I installed it about a week ago
on disk and then moved it to nfs.  I believe I saw the same error when
running from disk, I can check that if you think it is important.

sudo works, so I don't think the kernel ignores set*id bits on that
filesystem.

I don't see the message with the same version of screen on i386.  The
i386 machine is running from disk and was installed a long time ago.
