Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: screen
As per bug #727738 in dpkg, I am stuck with an old /usr/bin/screen left
behind by a screen-profiles package:
mas90@callisto:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/screen
diversion by screen-profiles from: /usr/bin/screen
diversion by screen-profiles to: /usr/bin/screen.real
screen: /usr/bin/screen
mas90@callisto:~$ dpkg -L screen-profiles
Package `screen-profiles' is not installed.
mas90@callisto:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/screen /usr/bin/screen.real
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 376032 2009-07-06 06:37 /usr/bin/screen
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 376112 2010-06-18 22:13 /usr/bin/screen.real
Whilst this isn't screen's fault, it would be useful for the time being
if Ubuntu's screen package detected this brokenness (which I suspect to
be the cause of various other bugs reported in screen) and reverted the
diversion if screen-profiles is not installed.
