Error when starting byobu on a Debian VPS

[Daniel Sousa]

I have installed byobu on my Debian VPS and whenever I try to start it I get the following error:
/usr/lib/byobu/include/dirs:49: no matches found: /dev/shm/byobu-daniel-*
mkdir: cannot create directory `/cache.tmux': Permission denied

I have successfully installed it on 2 another Debian machines, but this one insists on not working.

The bug is not fixed (I have manually made the change in the commit)

After rebooting, the error still shows the first time. After logging out and in again there's no error but byobu won't start anyway. There is a /dev/shm/byobu-daniel-* folder which only contains an empty cache.tmux directory.

I'm getting the same error message on each login, but byobu still starts, seemingly without any issues.

I am in the same situation as Gelefisk, on Ubuntu 14.04

Upgraded from 14.04 -> 14.10 -> 15.04 and I see this error in every version.
