Hello, I found a bug like this yesterday after an upgrade from lenny to squeeze.
$ grep screen /var/log/dpkg.log 2010-02-03 10:20:18 upgrade screen 4.0.3-11+lenny1 4.0.3-14+b1em1 2010-02-03 10:20:18 status half-configured screen 4.0.3-11+lenny1 2010-02-03 10:20:18 status unpacked screen 4.0.3-11+lenny1 2010-02-03 10:20:18 status half-installed screen 4.0.3-11+lenny1 2010-02-03 10:20:18 status half-installed screen 4.0.3-11+lenny1 2010-02-03 10:20:18 status unpacked screen 4.0.3-14+b1em1 2010-02-03 10:20:18 status unpacked screen 4.0.3-14+b1em1 It's an armel machine using emdebian grip repository; I can replay the upgrade on plain squeeze if necessary. And FWIW, $ grep RAM /etc/default/rcS RAMRUN=yes RAMLOCK=yes /usr/bin/screen group was set to "root" just after the upgrade. Changing it back to "utmp" (and g+s mode) fixed this issue for me.
