Package: aiccu Version: 20070115-11 Severity: normal Hi,
As I tried installing aiccu today, it was hanging (until I Ctrl-C'ed it) after the message "Preconfiguring packages...". I was able to trace this back to the $BROKERS variable (in the aiccu.config script) not containing anything. Looking further up I encountered a call to either dig or host to query _aiccu.sixxs.net for TXT records. I tried those dig/host calls myself on the shell and they indeed didn't return any TXT record (although they should have). As I'm behind a (closed-source, not under my control) DSL-Router doing NAT I soon suspected it messing with my DNS queries as it is listed in my resolv.conf Querying another nameserver (e.g. directly querying my providers DNS server with dig @ns.example.org ...) the TXT records were correctly returned. Although this clearly isn't your package's fault, it would be nice if the case of the dig/host call returning no valid TXT data would be handeled in aiccu.config (e.g. by falling back to the brokers list as it is done if neither dig or host are available).
