This bug has been fixed 22 month ago ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ddclient/changeset/120) and a new version of ddclient has been released 12 months ago that includes this fix ( http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ddclient/browser/tags, http://sourceforge.net/news/?id=301973&group_id=116817). Can this be included in debian as well so that this bug can be closed?
