Package: ddclient
Version: 3.8.0-1
Severity: important
On every update, ddclient complains with:
May 16 17:25:19 ant ddclient[10947]: WARNING: file
/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, line 3: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = ''
and sometimes also
May 16 17:25:19 ant ddclient[10947]: WARNING: file
/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, line 4: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = ''
in syslog.
My configuration is (modified from the debconf created version):
============== begin configuration file /etc/ddclient.conf

When the second line in syslog (...line 4: Invalid ....) is also logged, line 4
of the cache-file lacks a value after the ip= too, just as line 3 in the
cache-file
shown above. So the actual complaint in syslog seems correct. However, ddclient
has itself written the ip= parts without value to the cache-file.
This configuration worked and still works with the etch version of ddclient.
After
the upgrade to lenny it started failing.
I have tried using the sid/testing version of ddclient, but that has the same
problem. So I have reported this bug with that version installed.
I have also tried using the etch version of ddclient. Each changed version will
complain that the cache-file has a wrong value when started the first time but
only the etch version (3.6.7 from 3.6.7-2) will correctly write a new version
and consequently fill the ip= values for both lines.
The lenny (3.7.3-4.2) and 3.8.0-1 versions initially write a cache-file with
most of the times both ip= values missing. Sometimes only 1 is missing. They
subsequently keep complaining and never execute the IP-address updates again.
Thus after a recent IP-address change by my ISP, I was left with the wrong IP
connected to both hostnames.
To make it work again I will downgrade to the etch version but I a new version
and package is available I can test. Please ask when you want me to test.

It looks like 3.8.2-1 was uploaded by Torsten Landschoff in August 2014
which fixes this bug. 3.8.2-2 will be in Jessie.
I've installed 3.8.2-2 on Wheezy (it installs without any dependency
problems) and it seems to be behaving as well as my locally-patched
3.8.1
did.
So, I think we can close this bug.
You are right. I forgot to add this bug to the changelog. Closing.
Greetings, Torsten
