RJP-

Okay, yes, as I suspected, you have /usr/bin/screen.real but no
/usr/bin/screen. This means that the diversion was not cleaned up
properly. There was a bad release somewhere in the past couple of
days, that I've since rectified. I think you picked up that one,
unfortunately.

To solve the problem, you can edit /var/lib/dpkg/diversions, and
remove the following 3 contiguous lines:

/usr/bin/screen
/usr/bin/screen.real
screen-profiles

And then you should be able to sudo apt-get install screen again.
