Package: inadyn

Version: 2.8.1-1



Inadyn has undergone some refactorings but the debian package has not
updated init scripts and configuration templates.

Namely daemon can not start because of deprecated arg in init script


journalctl -u inadyn -e
Jan 11 12:16:35 x inadyn[579096]: Starting DynDNS client : inadyn
Jan 11 12:16:35 x inadyn[579104]: /usr/bin/inadyn: unrecognized option
'--background'
Jan 11 12:16:35 x inadyn[579104]: Usage:



In adition the default configuration template has to be updated as per
the manual

For example  the following template block from /etc/inadyn.conf

system <provider>
  # Please uncomment the following option if your DynDNS provider
supports HTTPS
  # ssl
  # Your username
  username <username>
  # Your password


has to be changed to

provider <provider> {

  username = <username>
  password = <password>
}

as per  the man inadyn.conf says.


Kind regards

V.G.

Thanks Vasilis, I could reproduce this error. The fix will come
together with the new version.

Yours,
