Package: screen
Version: 4.5.0-5
Severity: normal
before screen 4.5.0, -L took no arguments.
in 4.5.0 and later, -L takes one argument, the name of the logfile.
but if you have any pre-existing code that does something like:
screen -L -c foo.screenrc
then it fails in 4.5.0 because it doesn't like -c as an argument to
-L.
this is effectively an API breakage, which makes existing tools that
embed screen break. This has an effect on kvm-manager, for instance.
https://0xacab.org/dkg/kvm-manager
it makes it so that kvm-manager can't reuse the same invocation on
stretch and pre-stretch systems.
