An update that has one fix can now be installed.

Description:

This update for ddclient fixes the following issues:

• As '/var/run' is deprecated, replaced by '/run' in 'ddclient-tmpfiles.conf' (bsc#1185069)
• Systemd expects the PID file to exist as soon as the main process exists. However, it takes quite a while until the pid file is created by the daemon process, so we delay the main process for 1 second before exit()ing. This gets rid of an annoying warning message in "systemctl status".
