[Bug 497842] Re: debconf sets wrong server for zoneedit

Fri Dec 18 17:48:08 UTC 2009

** Description changed:

  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
+   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&dnsto=202.78.240.7">here</a>.</p>
+ RECEIVE:  </body></html>
  
  
- debconf should set server to dynamic.zoneedit.com instead of www.zoneedit.com
+ With the updated package from lucid you don't get the Moved Permanently message.
  
- Debian fixed the problem in the ddclient app but didnt seem to fix
+ I don't see any  foreseeable possibility for regression it only changes
  debconf.
