[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#776683: snmpd: SNMPd still tries to query PCI Bus

[Piotr Gorski]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.7.2.1~dfsg-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I have VPS form OVH running Debian Jessie. Few hours ago I've installed snmpd to monitor my network interfaces but snmpd
can't start. When I try starting it with /etc/init.d/snmpd start it says:

root at vps:~# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
[....] Restarting SNMP services::pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci

After some research I've found that this bug was submitted to Debian Bugs as #745956 and #745919. Each bug is closed but 
error remains active making snmpd unusable on systems without PCI bus (each VPS server for example).
