2018-07-18 23:08:32 Brian Murray description I saw some odd behaviour of screen during the upgrade from Xenial to Bionic using do-release-upgrade. I was trying to use screen to reattach to an upgrade process that had gone sideways during a router daemon upgrade (duh). But I was told that the permissions on /run/screen needed to be 777. Does the bionic version of screen have that as a requirement? And if so, perhaps do-release-upgrade should set those permissions in anticipation of the upgrade process so that screen works with both old and new versions. [Test Case] 1) have an Ubuntu 16.04 2) rm /etc/cron.daily/mlocate (this'll ensure you get a conffile prompt) 3) ssh to Ubuntu 16.04 system so the release upgrade is run in screen 4) run do-release-upgrade -d 5) wait for the conffile prompt from mlocate 6) ssh to the Ubuntu 16.04 system being upgraded 7) sudo -i 8) run screen -rd With the version of screen in the release pocket you'll receive the following error: root@clean-xenial-amd64:~# screen -rd Directory '/run/screen' must have mode 777.
