I got the following provate mail from another user:

==========================================================
I'm writing to you about today's (well, Monday's) NMU on the 'screen'
package, version 4.0.3-0.3. It seems to me that on my several systems
(i386 running debian sid), this new version switches from the use of
FIFOs to local sockets in /var/run/screen/S-<user>. Thus, after the
upgrade, already ready running screens are not recognized anymore
(and cannot be reattached). What a big deal! I want my screen back! :)

Well, according to the changelog, being a l10n NMU, I'm not sure this
waes really intented, was it?
==========================================================

Actually, I fail to see why this could have been broken by a l10n NMU
but this could maybe be a side effect of the triggered recompile
(which would mean there's a bad underlying problem).

The build I did was done in a supposedly clean chroot, with
pbuilder....what I ignore is how was the previous builds done.
