Title:
  ddclient unusable with FreeDNS due to missing libdigest-sha1-perl

Status in ddclient package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ddclient source package in Trusty:
  New
Status in ddclient source package in Utopic:
  New

Bug description:
  [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.
