Does screen install cleanly for you?

(snip)

Setting up screen (4.0.3-0.3osso4+0m5) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/screen.postinst: line 23: /usr/sbin/add-shell: not found
install-info(/usr/share/info/screen.info): no file /usr/share/info/dir, retrieving backup file /var/backups/infodir.bak.
[/CODE]
It was back in December, but I think so. I would have mentioned it if it did not. I do not remember if libcurses had already been installed because of something else. I think not, because I would probably have tried putting the screen executable in usr/local/bin without installing it. I had done that with some other binaries, but it was nice to find a maemo package for it.

Maybe one of the maemo updates breaks installing screen and/or curses? Also, maybe I did not notice the postinstall error. Were left with a screen executable in your path or anywhere? Does it work?

You might also file a bug against the screen maemo package.
