Package: noip2
Version: 2.1.7-7
Severity: normal
Usertags: origin-ubuntu hardy

Hi,

the noip2 postinst script doesn't handle very well some particular user 
inputs.
For instance:

a) If the user's username and/or password contains a blank space, the config 
script will fail with a bad sintax error and leave the package in a broken 
state.

This can be solved by eg. using "$username" and "$password" in the noip2 call.

b) if the username and/or password is incorrect, the configuration will fail 
and the installation will fail: this will leave the package in a completely 
broken state. This failure could be handled more gracefully, for instance by 
completing neverthless the installation with a warning to the user and leave 
the possibility to the user to configure again the package (for instance with 
dkpg-reconfigure or by manually calling noip2 with the correct data).

Many thanks,

Cesare
