Package: libsnmp-base
Version: 5.4.2.1~dfsg-2
Severity: normal
This output:
Setting up libsnmp-base (5.4.2.1~dfsg-2) ...
[ -d /usr/share/mibs/iana.orig ] || mkdir /usr/share/mibs/iana.orig
cat ianalist | while read file mibs; \
do \
if [ "$file" != "#" ]; \
then \
./mibfetch -d /usr/share/mibs/iana.orig -x
http://www.iana.org assignments $file $mibs; \
fi; \
done
[ -d /usr/share/mibs/ietf.orig ] || mkdir /usr/share/mibs/ietf.orig
cat rfclist | while read rfc mibs; \
do \
if [ "$rfc" != "#" ]; \
then \
./mibfetch -d /usr/share/mibs/ietf.orig
ftp://ftp.ietf.org rfc $rfc $mibs; \
fi; \
done
Would be much better written as (for example):
"Downloading MIBs, this will take a very long time"
The current output could lead one to believe that part of post-install gets
printed instead of run.
Kind regards
