Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-5
Severity: normal

Hi

I just upgraded my system and the upgrade failed with this message:

Setting up screen (4.0.3-5) ...
The new location of screen's socket directory, /tmp/.screen, is
occupied by something else. Please move it aside.
dpkg: error processing screen (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 screen
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


I do have the /tmp/.screen directory in question:
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  utmp   4096 2007-09-26 12:54 .screen

But I do not recall doing anything special to screen.
Is there a problem with the postinst script?

Cheers
Steffen
