Package: screen
Version: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-7
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I cannot use screen on my system. When I run it, all it does is clearing
the terminal and then printing
[screen is terminating]
at which point I am back in the plain terminal.
No other error message is printed. Running it as root (with "sudo")
works fine. I tried using a SCREENDIR in my $HOME, but nothing
changed.
This is running Wheezy in a sharehoster VM:
$ uname -a
Linux [...] 2.6.32-042stab092.3 #1 SMP Sun Jul 20 13:27:24 MSK 2014 i686
GNU/Linux
I believe they use OpenVZ virtualization.
Kind regards,
Ralf

Turned out that my hoster crippled
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules and removed lots of useful
lines, in particular the one that creates /dev/ptmx. Then screen was
unable to get a pseudoterminal. Oh great.
Maybe I should find some tool to detect more places in which they
"fixed" Debian packages...
Kind regards,
Ralf
