Update from screen-profiles to byobu does not clean up .profile

[Christian Schürer-Waldheim]

Binary package hint: byobu

The package screen-profiles put the line "[ -x /usr/bin/screen-launcher ] && /usr/bin/screen-launcher" into the .profile file so that it is started automatically. Byobu does the same when you select the "autostart" menu option but it does not remove the one from screen-profiles. The result is the following two lines:

[ -x /usr/bin/screen-launcher ] && /usr/bin/screen-launcher
`echo $- | grep -qs i` && byobu-launcher

This causes to start a new screen-session when I close the last shell (yes, I do sometimes exit all shells :-))

It's not hard to remove one line, but maybe you could do that automatically on update too.

Hey thanks for the report. Good catch, this is annoying. I'll get this fixed ASAP.

This bug was fixed in the package byobu - 2.18-0ubuntu1

---------------
byobu (2.18-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/screen-profiles.postinst: try to remove the dpkg-divert, but
    if it fails, let the installation proceed, since we've copied
    screen.real back into place now, (much hate shall descend upon
    dpkg-divert!!!), LP: #393204
  * byobu-launcher-uninstall, byobu-janitor: byobu-launcher is no longer
    fully qualified, update the remove to account for this; clean out
    old screen-launcher entries as a janitor item LP: #392978
  * keybindings/f-keys, keybindings/screen-escape-keys: call the
    byobu-config window 'config', rather than 'help'
