[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#944336: snmpd flood syslog when ipv6 disabled

[Giorgos Sakellaropoulos]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.8+dfsg-2

Running snmpd on a system with no ipv6 support at all makes syslog go
crazy with repeated lines every 2-3 seconds like the following :
Nov  8 06:16:42 hostname snmpd[744]: ipaddress_linux: could not open
/proc/net/if_inet6: No such file or directory
Nov  8 06:16:45 hostname snmpd[744]: ipaddress_linux: could not open
/proc/net/if_inet6: No such file or directory
Nov  8 06:16:46 hostname snmpd[744]: ipaddress_linux: could not open
/proc/net/if_inet6: No such file or directory
Nov  8 06:16:48 hostname snmpd[744]: ipaddress_linux: could not open
/proc/net/if_inet6: No such file or directory
Nov  8 06:16:51 hostname snmpd[744]: ipaddress_linux: could not open
/proc/net/if_inet6: No such file or directory
Nov  8 06:16:54 hostname snmpd[744]: ipaddress_linux: could not open
/proc/net/if_inet6: No such file or directory

In previous versions the logging happens once . Can  you please fix it?
