Package: screen Version: 4.1.0~20110819git450e8f3-1 Severity: important If I have a detached screen 4.0.3-14 running, upgrade screen to version 4.1.0~20110819git450e8f3-1 and then try to reattach to the running detached screen with the new version, the "screen -r" process hangs until I kill it with "kill -TERM" and I seem to have no chance to reattach to the running screen except to downgrade screen again to 4.0.3-14 and then call "screen -r" again.
This can be a problem for people who are used to run remote dist-upgrades inside screen if the ssh connection is interrupted.
