Normally you can upgrade ddclient by just replacing the ddclient-script. If you used the version of your distribution, it is a bit harder. Most distributions do some changes to the script which makes it hard to tell you how to upgrade. You can check which patches debian applies before releasing and apply those patches on the downloaded latest version.

Hello wimpunk
Thanks for the hints
Before, i had the distri version from ddclient.
Then i replaced the new Version and when i start ddclient i have to add some missing perl modules,
But now ddclient runs smoothly so far.
So how i can figure out that everything is in place ?
Or is it the case when the script is able for execution.
