** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + * when screen creates user sessions, it uses utmp to register it. + * systemd in debian changed this: + systemd (256.7-2) unstable; urgency=medium + [...] + * Disable utmp support, not y2038 safe. utmp support in tmux has been + disabled, so autopkgtest should no longer break + [...] + -- Luca Boccassi <[email protected]> Fri, 18 Oct 2024 15:47:12 +0100 + + * we add a patche to disable utmp registrations in screen. + + [ Test Plan ] + + Start screen + Hit enter (initial screen session) + Ctrl+A + Ctrl+C (new screen session) + Ctrl+D (end screen session) + See "Utmp slot not found -> not removed" in lower left (have to hit a key to dismiss the message) + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * This fixes a minor annoyance in the screen UI, so impact should be minimal + * since utmp tracking is broken anyway, disabling it in a consumer should do no harm. + + + --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Due to removal of utmp in systemd in plucky, screen now prints "Utmp slot not found -> not removed" whenever a session is closed. I suspect the easiest fix is to not build screen with utmp support. Versions earlier than plucky are not affected.
