Following the upgrade of my desktop, from Beowulf to Chimaera, ddclient would not start, but reported :-
Unknown option: daemon 300 -syslog -pid /var/run/ddclient.pid
followed by the very long usage message.
After some fiddling around I finally (?) fixed this by moving the options from the command line to the config file :-
The following was added to /etc/ddclient.conf :-
daemon=300
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
syslog=yes
and then edited /etc/init.d/ddclient to set OPTIONS to be empty :-
OPTIONS=""
This then seems to work!
/etc/init.d/ddclient start
/etc/init.d/ddclient status
Status of Dynamic DNS service update utility: ddclient is running.

I just wanted to quickly second this issue, but I solved it by just unquoting OPTIONS where it is used later in the file:
-- "$OPTIONS" \
to
-- $OPTIONS \

Yes, word splitting is needed to avoid passing the options as a single string.
A bug has been filed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=998650
No action yet though.
To obtain a root shell use su -. Using just su will result in "command not found" messages.
