Hi @all,

this is my first bug reported and I am a bit unsure if i did it right.

I installed "app-misc/ranger-1.9.3" (the unstable one) with "python3_8".
Trying it out resulted in the following error:

```
❯ ranger
ranger version: ranger 1.9.3
Python version: 3.8.2 (default, May  9 2020, 13:21:01) [GCC 10.1.0]
Locale: de_DE.UTF-8

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: 'screen'

ranger crashed. Please report this traceback at:
https://github.com/ranger/ranger/issues
```

The issue is, that "gnu screen" was not installed on the system. Doing so results in proper start of ranger.

I assume, that this comes from a missing runtime dependency in the ebuild and is trivial to fix (no clue on how to proceed there, but I am willing to help out).

Thanks for your time!

Best Regards, Jonas

screen has never been a hard ranger dependency (neither tmux). something is broken in your env.
