Package: screen-profiles Version: 1.48-1 Severity: important After a reboot the screen command complained "/var/run/screen must have mode 0775" and refused to start.
/etc/init.d/screen-cleanup set the permissions of /var/run/screen to 0777 because /usr/bin/screen supplied by screen-profiles has no guid bit set. Since /usr/bin/screen.real runs in guid mode, it requires /var/run/screen to have permissions 0775. A quick hack which worked for me was to patch /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup: ... | # If the local admin has used dpkg-statoverride to install the screen | # binary with different set[ug]id bits, change the permissions of | # $SCREENDIR accordingly | if [ -x /usr/bin/screen.real ]; then | SCREENBINARY=/usr/bin/screen.real | else | SCREENBINARY=/usr/bin/screen | fi | BINARYPERM=`stat -c%a $SCREENBINARY` ...
