It sounds like the maintainer is not doing a good job explaining what
the issue is. So, I'd file a bug report asking why the info is not very
clear.

What is mount-aes and where did you get it? There is no Debian package
with this name.

If it is a mount for loop-AES, then you should use the loop-aes-utils
package, which doesn't conflict with mount.

That may answer the question. That mount-aie might ooollllddd (though the
version number is similar to that of mount). This installation started out
with a knoppix HD install so maybe this was theirs.

So should I simply upgrade the ddclient and this will install Debian's mount
and be done with it.
