Bug Description

Binary package hint: byobu

The package screen-profiles put the line "[ -x /usr/bin/screen-launcher ] && /usr/bin/screen-launcher" into the .profile file so that it is started automatically. Byobu does the same when you select the "autostart" menu option but it does not remove the one from screen-profiles. The result is the following two lines:

[ -x /usr/bin/screen-launcher ] && /usr/bin/screen-launcher
`echo $- | grep -qs i` && byobu-launcher

This causes to start a new screen-session when I close the last shell (yes, I do sometimes exit all shells :-))

It's not hard to remove one line, but maybe you could do that automatically on update too.

---------------
byobu (2.18-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/screen-profiles.postinst: try to remove the dpkg-divert, but
    if it fails, let the installation proceed, since we've copied
    screen.real back into place now, (much hate shall descend upon
    dpkg-divert!!!), LP: #393204
  * byobu-launcher-uninstall, byobu-janitor: byobu-launcher is no longer
    fully qualified, update the remove to account for this; clean out
    old screen-launcher entries as a janitor item LP: #392978
  * keybindings/f-keys, keybindings/screen-escape-keys: call the
    byobu-config window 'config', rather than 'help'
