Package: snmpd
Version: 5.2.3-7etch4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.3.2

Hi,

The start action shouldn't fail if the service is already running:

# invoke-rc.d snmpd start
Starting network management services:invoke-rc.d: initscript snmpd, action "start" failed.

This happens with TRAPDRUN=yes in /etc/default/snmpd.  I don't run
snmpd, but looks like that would result in the same error.

At first sight, adding --oknodo to the two start-stop-daemon invocations
(just like it's already done in the stop case) would fix this.

Thanks,
Feri.
