Public bug reported: The ddclient needs upgrade for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, or at least put ddclient (3.9.1-5) into focal-backports.
My /etc/ddclient.conf has been working for years, but recently it is broken: rm /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache $ sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -force FAILED: Could not get freedns update URLs from freedns.afraid.org $ sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -force WARNING: file /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, line 3: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = '' FAILED: Could not get freedns update URLs from freedns.afraid.org $ apt-cache policy ddclient ddclient: Installed: 3.8.3-1.1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.8.3-1.1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.8.3-1.1ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
