Someone seems to have added it to setup a snmp config.   It is
unlikely you want an snmp config/install, its only use is for external
monitoring via the network (without ssh access) and is for the most
part not being used much anymore.

You might do a man smartd.conf and see if there is an option to
disable snmp config completely.

I also disable smartd because generally it is less than useful (I have
had too many "your disk is going to fail soon" notifications where the
disk stopped working >3 years later--so the warning was useless, I
have also had disks fail that smartd did not ever report as failed).
 Generally I view its reliability is so bad the tool is actually WORSE
than useless since it scares you with incorrect warnings, and fails to
report real (usually bad sector issues) correctly.

I replace it with simply taking a report a day for each disk and when
disks act up I see if the bad sectors count are rising on one of the
disks.
