So, I tripped over this when I arrived at work, connected to my server through
SSH and tried to get my screen up and
met a There is no screen to be attached. sign...
Here's some information of things I tried, and various info that might be
usefull.
I've also tried and find other people with the same problem, I've found atleast
two where one came into #screen on
freenode, just like me and supplied this pastebin.

What I think is the reason is the upgrade from 4.0.3-0.2 to 4.0.3-0.3 that I
did yesterday.
In my mind, what I suspect will fail it is
start a screen (4.0.3-0.2)
upgrade to screen 4.0.3-0.3
detach
attach (fails)

Description: a terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
screen is a terminal multiplexor that runs several separate screens on a
single physical character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a
DEC VT100 plus several ANSI X3.64 and ISO 2022 functions. Screen sessions
can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal.
.
Screen also supports a whole slew of other features. Some of these are:
configurable input and output translation, serial port support, configurable
logging, multi-user support, and utf8 charset support.
