** Description changed: - When I tried to set up ddclient to access an afraid.org host in quantal, - I got an error: it says it needs libdigest-sha1-perl; this package has - not been shipped since oneiric. + [Impact] + The current ddclient package found in Trusty and Utopic is unusable with FreeDNS (one of the popular free dynamic DNS sites) due to a missing dependency (libdigest-sha1-perl). The patch (cherry-picked from upstream) enables ddclient to correctly locate this dependency. + + [Test Case] + - Install the ddclient package on Trusty or Utopic + - Use a ddclient.conf with content similar to the following: + daemon=1h + ssl=yes + protocol=freedns + use=web + server=freedns.afraid.org + login=<username> + password='<password>' + <hostname> + - Observe that ddclient successfully connects up to FreeDNS and updates the IP address. + + [Regression Potential] + Generally limited as the patch only touches code that is used for FreeDNS. + + [Original description] + When I tried to set up ddclient to access an afraid.org host in quantal, I got an error: it says it needs libdigest-sha1-perl; this package has not been shipped since oneiric.
