[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#965034: snmpd: Default not sourced, SNMPDOPTS not changed, 'ia_addr' error resurrected

[Alessandro Vesely]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.7.3+dfsg-5
Severity: normal

Dear Debian Maintainer,

after upgrading to Beowulf, daemon.log gets filled with these:

Jul 14 18:31:46 31 north snmpd[27013]: error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
Jul 14 18:31:46 31 north snmpd[27013]: error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)

[...]

It is an old bug, with a known "solution" consisting in lowering the log level.

However, the original init.d/snmpd must have been changed, so that /etc/default/snmpd 
does not get sourced.  Hence the logs.

I just changed /etc/init.d/snmpd (lazy me).
