Title:
  /var/run needs mode 777 in bionic

Status in screen package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I saw some odd behaviour of screen during the upgrade from Xenial to
  Bionic using do-release-upgrade. I was trying to use screen to
  reattach to an upgrade process that had gone sideways during a router
  daemon upgrade (duh). But I was told that the permissions on
  /run/screen needed to be 777. Does the bionic version of screen have
  that as a requirement? And if so, perhaps do-release-upgrade should
  set those permissions in anticipation of the upgrade process so that
  screen works with both old and new versions.
