Byobu completely broken after 3.8 update

[Nick B.]

After installing the latest Byobu from the PPA it doesn't work at all. Running 'byobu' doesn't start a screen session nor does it return any errors. On Ubuntu 10.04.1. I can reproduce this on 3 different machines.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install boybu 3.8 from the byobu PPA
2. Terminate any existing screen sessions
3. Run 'byobu'
4. Nothing happens
