Bug#389434: [Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#389434: MIBs in net-snmp

Hi Roland,

IMHO the best solution would be to create the .index file during install
time using an utility. This utility could be reexecuted if a different
package adds some MIBs to this directory. The lib should rely on a
valid .index, but never touch the .index even if the file is invalid.

Thanks,
Jochen
