Description
Maintainer: @maxberger
Environment: OpenWrt 23.05-rc3
Description:
If you install the package with a configuration already in place (after an upgrade), it looks like the scripts tries to do something (restart?) that generates these errors:
cat: can't open '/var/run/ddns/afraidv4.dat': No such file or directory
cat: can't open '/var/run/ddns/nowdnsv4.dat': No such file or directory
cat: can't open '/var/run/ddns/afraidv6.dat': No such file or directory
It might be harmless but it should be fixed.

Research direction
Reproduce installation of ddns-scripts on OpenWrt 23.05-rc3 with an existing configuration, watching the package installation hooks and accesses to /var/run/ddns/*.dat. Trace why the afraidv4.dat, nowdnsv4.dat, and afraidv6.dat files are read before they exist; done means the upgrade installation completes without these errors.
