Comment 4 for bug 222408

Rather the contrary, the package installs and/or upgrades for most users. We have a couple of cases reported where it fails the configuration step but nobody has yet provided any information that could allows us to debug it.
What happens if you give the following command:

noip2 -C -u username -p password -U updating -L hosts_groups -I interface

Where:

username is your username
password is your password
updating is the update interval (in minutes)
interface is your network interface (eg. eth0)
hosts_groups is the comma-separated hosts/groups list
(eg. some_domain.no-ip.com,Group1,Group2,another_domain.no-ip.biz)

And if you give this one:

sudo /etc/init.d/noip2 start

What is the content of your /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf file?
(if you feel that there is confidential data in noip2.conf please mask it with some x).
