Bug Description
Attempting to start ddclient returns this error message:
FATAL: Error loading the Perl module Digest::SHA1 needed for freedns update.
FATAL: On Debian, the package libdigest-sha1-perl must be installed.
The cited package does not exist. Comments on bug #993648 explain that ddclient is at fault and should be updated to use Digest::SHA instead of Digest::SHA1.
