Title:

The above behaviour persists up to precise. I can see that the mibdirs
include the locations where download-mibs puts them:
root@precise:~# net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs
/root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp
It would be nice if net-snmp created /usr/share/snmp/mibs with a README
file forwarding us to download-mibs and a bit of info about the change.

There are libraries and applications that look for the mibs in
/usr/share/snmp/mibs
"download-mibs" is not creating them there.
It uses a "new" one
/var/lib/mibs
with subdirectories "iana" and "ietf"
Breaking the location has nothing to do with licensing.

It would be informative useful if the absence, and the method to fetch
the MIBS was made clearer.

This is probably due to licensing reasons, auto-downloading MIBs from
IETF or IANA is certainly considered "distributing" them. That's why
Debian separated the MIB downloader and required user action to install
them. I don't think Ubuntu would like to differ there... but I could be
proven wrong.

The net-snmp without MIBs is useless for a lot o people, please
reconsider.
