https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250170 Summary: ddclient errors when run on line 1646 (or 1660 for 3.7.1) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: joe_morris@ntm.org QAContact: qa@suse.de I got an error, Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/sbin/ddclient line 1646. in version 3.7.0 which came with openSUSE 10.2. Troubleshooting, I tried to update to 3.7.1 from Factory, but though the line number changed, the error remained. The error has something to do with fw setting, which I did not use. I used the web method to update my IP. Tracking and tracing led me to the (I guess) fix from the author upstream, from the svn version of ddclient. The patch is (for version 3.7.1) is: --- ddclient-3.7.1/ddclient.orig 2007-01-25 16:42:22.000000000 +0100 +++ ddclient-3.7.1/ddclient 2007-02-12 16:09:53.000000000 +0100 @@ -1657,6 +1657,6 @@ debug("server = $server"); - debug("opt(fw = ",opt('fw')); - debug("glo fw = $globals{'fw'}"); + opt('fw') && debug("opt(fw = ",opt('fw'),")"); + $globals{'fw'} && debug("glo fw = $globals{'fw'}"); #if ( $globals{'ssl'} and $server ne $globals{'fw'} ) { ## always omit SSL for connections to local router This was found at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1677041&forum_id=399428 Another problem I found when rebuilding the rpm, is that /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache file was not created (needs to be 600). I have been running my rebuilt package for about 2 weeks without any further problems. BTW, before finding the fix from the author, I changed the erring line to debug("glo fw = ",$globals{'fw'});, (even though I am not a programmer, it seemed to match the line above's syntax better), and it seemed to also work with that as well, but I will defer to the author's fix. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
