Package: screen Version: 5.0.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a program which runs in one window of my screen, monitoring certain parameters. When those parameters reach certain values, it executes a command in another program, running in another window of the same screen. So if the windows are 1 and 2, then the program in screen 1 will execute a command screen -p 2 -X stuff "some commands". Program in window 2 receives those commands as if they came from the keyboard. Very nice. This worked for several years, no problems. However, recently (days ago), this started failing: now whenever I run screen -p (number), I get an error saying "could not find pre-select window". Note: I have only one screen process running. This does not seem to be about the command being sent to the wrong screen session. Restarting screen did not bring any change. -- Package-specific info: File Existence and Permissions ------------------------------ drwxr-xr-x 49 root root 1380 May 28 19:08 /run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 27 2022 /var/run -> /run -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 482016 May 16 01:00 /usr/bin/screen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119 May 27 2022 /etc/tmpfiles.d/screen-cleanup.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 27 2022 /lib/systemd/system/screen-cleanup.service -> /dev/null -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1222 Feb 18 2021 /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 27 2022 /etc/rcS.d/S01screen-cleanup -> ../init.d/screen-cleanup File contents ------------- ### /etc/tmpfiles.d/screen-cleanup.conf ______________________________________________________________________ # This file is generated by /var/lib/dpkg/info/screen.postinst upon package configuration d /run/screen 1777 root utmp ______________________________________________________________________ -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.17.8+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages screen depends on: ii debianutils 5.23.2 ii libc6 2.42-16 ii libpam0g 1.7.0-5+b2 ii libtinfo6 6.6+20251231-1+b1 screen recommends no packages.
