libdigest-sha1-perl

[Veljko <veljko3@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using Wheezy, but needed ddclient from Sid, as that version supports
freedns protocol. I know there are other programs/scripts, but I use ddclient
on Slackware and just wanted to have same setup. As it turns out, that version
needs libdigest-sha1-perl which, as I understood, is dropped in Wheezy in favor
of libdigest-sha-perl. Don't know why is it in Sid then... Anyhow, to solve
this problem I just edited part of /usr/sbin/ddclient that checks for version
and loads SHA1 module and replaced it with Digest::SHA module.

It works just fine, but as I do not know perl or Debian that well, I don't know
if this was right way to do it. Any thougts?

Regards,
Veljko
