Bug Description

Binary package hint: ddclient

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

ddclient:
  Installed: 3.8.0-4ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.8.0-4ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.8.0-4ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

debconf should set server to dynamic.zoneedit.com instead of www.zoneedit.com

Debian fixed the problem in the ddclient app but didn't seem to fix debconf.

Impact:
When users choose zoneedit in debconf either during inital install or during a reconfigure their IP will not get updated. ddclient runs very quietly so unless they really check they will not know, might be hard to figure out the problem for new users.

TEST CASE:
Install ddclient during debconf choose zoneedit, run "sudo ddclient --verbose" from the command line. You get something simmilar to this:

RECEIVE: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
RECEIVE: Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:31:38 GMT
RECEIVE: Server: Apache
RECEIVE: Location: http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=test.giles.net.nz&dnsto=202.78.240.7
RECEIVE: Content-Length: 299
RECEIVE: Connection: close
RECEIVE: Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
RECEIVE:
RECEIVE: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
RECEIVE: <html><head>
RECEIVE: <title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
RECEIVE: </head><body>
RECEIVE: <h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
RECEIVE: <p>The document has moved <a href="http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=test.giles.net.nz&amp;dnsto=202.78.240.7">here</a>.</p>
RECEIVE: </body></html>

With the updated package from lucid you don't get the Moved Permanently message.

I don't see any foreseeable possibility for regression it only changes debconf.

Please version to 3.8.0-4ubuntu1.1 instead and karmic -> karmic-proposed.

Other than that, the contents of the patch look reasonable for a SRU. ACK from ubuntu-sru as long as the changelog issue pointed out is corrected.

Thanks!
