Binary package hint: ddclient

logcheck shows errors like this:

But ddclient updates just fine.

Started yesterday completely out of the blue (no upgrade, no reboot, no nothing) around 17:44 GMT May 22 according to daemon log.

ddclient is (or was) working fine, actually effectuated an ip update just last sunday smoothly.

Obs: message is "bad hostname checkip.dyndns.org" i/o "no route to host". Changed to checkip.dyndns.com to no avail. Of course both IPs are getting pinged fine.

Well, the message is still appearing over the weekend in a very random way.

Since it came out of the blue and I had some mysterious ipv6-related dns-resolution lag issues lately, maybe it is not related to the package itself.

Will turn back to fixed if no news.
