Not sure what the comma is doing there at the end, but I copied and
pasted, but I cannot see it in the original. I started with 3.3.7, but
had that error, so found out 3.3.7.1 was in factory, so tried it. I
then rebuilt the package with a couple of tweaks for it to work, i.e.
add the cache file and comment out this line (1660 in 3.7.7.1). I can
only guess Patrick is on to something since fw is not used in my setup
(which worked fine in 9.3, not sure what version of ddclient it had.
But I am not a programmer, and even less familiar with Perl. I just
wanted to make sure commenting out will not do something bad (and report
it to the author if it is a bug in ddclient). BTW, do you use the fw to
get your IP? Is it set in your conf file?
