severity 561124 important
thanks
Hi Bjørn,
I was really surprised to see that it is actually deliberately broken
and has been so for a month, even allowing it to enter testing.
Please try to run e.g.
perl -MSNMP -e 'new SNMP::Session()'
on a system with no MIBs and see the generated noise.
OK, the breakage seems to be a config file being shipped in the
wrong package. Please install snmp and test this again. The noise is
gone!
Never mind that
the change breaks any script the users may have created with symbolic
OID names.
That's intentional. As the MIBs have a non-free license (at least
all the ones published as RFC before November 10, 2008), they can't
be part of Debian, period. Any Debian package relying on them will
need to leave Debian (main) in favour of contrib (See #557434, #498475).
Can we please agree that this currently is in no way suitable for
release? The change should never have made it into testing without
snmp-mibs-downloader being available. Too late for that, but let's
ensure that it won't be in a Debian release. Hence this message.
snmp-mibs-downloader is non-free and therefor will never be part of
Debian. It's currently in new and a copy is available on git:
git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/snmp-mibs-downloader.git
Thanks,
Jochen
