Bug Description
Binary package hint: screen
Screen is failing to start with directory permissions error of "/var/run/screen needs to be mode 775"
A quick 'ls lsa' reveals:
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root utmp 40 2009-06-21 13:55 screen
which is all the correct owner/group and permissions.
The current version of screen installed at the moment is 4.0.3-13ubuntu out of the current Karmic Alpha.

Thanks Dustin.... I guess I should have sent in a trace and I probably would have figured that out for you. Been out of the game for a while so I'm still trying to settle back in and get into the swing of things.

This bug was fixed in the package screen - 4.0.3-13ubuntu2
---------------
screen (4.0.3-13ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
* debian/control: depend on byobu; this will replace the screen-profiles
version with the dpkg-diversion of /usr/bin/screen, which is causing
the permissions issue in LP: #390405
* debian/
for upgrading users who previously just typed 'screen' to launch byobu
(now that the diversion has been removed)

The problem is actually with screen-profiles, which provides a dpkg-diversion for /usr/bin/screen, which is installed 755.
However, this diversion goes away with an upgrade to byobu. I'm uploading a fix shortly in byobu.
