Description Jernej Simončič 2012-07-08 21:55:23 UTC 
I updated my system yesterday, and among the updates was app-misc/screen. After the update, screen -DR wouldn't connect to my running session anymore, since both the socket directory was moved, and screen now uses sockets instead of FIFOs (at least on amd64; it seems that FIFOs are still used on arm). The ebuild did not warn that this would happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update app-misc/screen to 4.0.3-r5 from within a screen session
2. run screen -DR from a new terminal
Actual Results:  
New screen session starts

Expected Results:  
Running session is reattached

Downgrading to 4.0.3-r4 does not let me reattach my session on amd64, because configure now detects FIFOs as broken (downgrading works on arm)
