Package: screen Version: 4.0.3-4 Severity: wishlist When I upgraded to this version of screen I had two sessions running but detached and the symlinking back to the old directory seems to have gone slightly wrong.
Instead of /tmp/.screen being created as a symlink to /var/run/screen, a symlink to /var/run/screen was created in /tmp/.screen/, causing me a moment of panic when I couldn't find my old screen sessions. This probably was caused by me started a new screen session while the apt-get upgrade was running. Hence the wishlist severity. Anyway, although this could be file under user error, it'd be nice if the post-inst script would catch this sort of thing happening when it creates the symlink, as a last-ditch failure check against people who pass the test in the pre-inst. ^_^ Also, if I might, I'd suggest this change would be worthy of a NEWS entry?
