Re: Bug#644788: Bug#654116: RFH: screen -- terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation

[Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com>]

just thought of it: another possible complication of this approach (mv
/usr/bin/screen /tmp/screen-4.0) might be -- tools depending on
screen (e.g. byobu) might be in the cold water if the default screen in
the PATH cannot do its duties.

FWIW:

$> apt-cache rdepends screen
screen
Reverse Depends:
  apt-dater
  winpdb
  surfraw-extra
  surfraw
  screenie
 |rtorrent
  podracer
  narval-utils
  mdm
  iselect
  epoptes-client
  education-common
  cereal
  byobu
  apt-dater
