Package: noip2
Version: 2.1.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I just updated from no-ip to noip2, and during the post-install process
(after debconf asked me for login, password and updating interval), I
got this message:

Setting up noip2 (2.1.7-1) ...

Auto configuration for Linux client of no-ip.com.

2 hosts are registered to this account.
Do you wish to have them all updated?[N] (y/N) 


and whatever I answer, the installation process just hangs, and I have
to kill noip2. If I run /usr/bin/noip2 -C -u $login -p $passwd -U $time
I have the following questions:

Do you wish to have host [domain1.example.tld] updated?[N] (y/N)  n
Do you wish to have host [domain2.example.tld] updated?[N] (y/N)  y

and then

New configuration file '/etc/noip2.conf' created.


And /etc/init.d/noip2 start works fine, But the package is still tagged
as "partially installed", and dpkg tries to re-run the post-inst every
time I do something with it...
It looks like the postinst script is just not expecting to get that
question from noip2.


I face the same problem if I purge no-ip and noip2 and try to re-install
noip2.

Also, I think noip2 could use the /etc/no-ip.conf file from no-ip if it
exists (maybe have debconf asking the user whether to use the old file
or to create a new one).

Cheers
