So, something that used to work and now does not -- the boilerplate definition of a regression, I'd think -- and the "solution" is to update a distro specific README file, that nobody will read? It is your call in the end, but I have to say that doesn't improve the end-user experience any --

2017-10-24 Thread Paul Gortmaker
Public bug reported: As of 16.04, the screen program started using a 256 colour setting. The problem is that this setting is relatively new and has not had a chance to propagate to older hosts, including something as new as the previous 15.x release. For example: ---
