Package: screen Version: 4.9.1-1 Severity: important GNU screen outputs some data to the main screen instead of the alternate screen. I suspect that this occurs when the session is detached: the main screen is restored, but GNU screen still outputs data from its current window.
I've attached a screenshot of the xterm window and the corresponding log (compressed). What's strange is that I think that I've never noticed this issue before today, while it is now often reproducible. It could be related to some other upgrade on the system. -- Package-specific info: File Existence and Permissions ------------------------------ drwxr-xr-x 40 root root 1140 2025-05-01 14:10:22 /run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2023-10-07 13:42:09 /var/run -> /run -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 486488 2023-09-07 00:10:56 /usr/bin/screen -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119 2023-10-07 18:37:37 /etc/tmpfiles.d/screen-cleanup.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2023-10-07 18:37:37 /lib/systemd/system/screen-cleanup.service -> /dev/null -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1222 2022-11-04 03:35:12 /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2023-10-07 18:37:37 /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: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'proposed-updates-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.25-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set 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 5.22 ii libc6 2.41-7 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.38-1 ii libpam0g 1.7.0-3 ii libtinfo6 6.5+20250216-2 ii libutempter0 1.2.1-4 screen recommends no packages.
