Ah, I see. This is a side-effect of the fact that hplip hasn't been
rebuilt against libsnmp30 yet. This will sort itself out as the
transition progresses, but in the meantime keeping the old version of
the net-snmp packages installed would be the right thing to do in this
case.

Unfortunately this sort of thing will happen sometimes in unstable,
particularly for packages involved in a transition.
