Package: ddclient
Version: 3.8.3-1.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm using a config file like this:
--- 8< -----------------------------------
usev6=if, if=tunipred
protocol=nsupdate
server=dnsmaster.nirgal.com
password=/root/dyndns/Kdynamic.test.+163+31401.key
zone=dyn.nirgal.com
ttl=60
test.dyn.nirgal.com
--- 8< -----------------------------------
But this fails with this message:
--- 8< -----------------------------------
DEBUG: get_ip: using if, tunipred reports 2001:123:456:789::1
INFO: forcing updating test.dyn.nirgal.com because no cached entry exists.

The commands are wrongs because ipv6 requieres AAAA records and not A records.
If I change A by AAAA in /usr/sbin/ddclient on lines 4062 and 4063, the program
now works correctly for IPv6 (but obviously it is then broken for IPv4).

Thank you for taking care of ddclient. :)
