Hi Jan,

Changed to important because the bug does NOT render the package unusable to everyone.

Does this still happen, if you restart snmpd? It looks like this might happen if the interface name is changed after snmpd has been started.

Are you using the standard Debian startup scripts or something else?

Thanks,
