I guess, it is relevant to RPM. Did you erase directory /var/run/screen? I could not image why does not exist. Is the problem reproducible?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Unfortunately at Fedora 24 I am not able to reproduce this bug. Everything is fine here. Could you please inform me, if is this bug still actual for you? Otherwise, please close this bug.
I've only seen this happen once since the initial bug report. I removed the package and reinstalled it. Thanks much for the feedback.
