Package: snmpd Version: 5.7.3+dfsg-5+deb10u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The shipped systemd service file in /lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service *forces* the environment variable MIBS to be blank. There appears to be no system in place to override this and allow loading of MIBS. In older versions, this was set in /etc/default/snmpd; however that file is now ignored. If I edit /lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service, it gets wiped out during an upgrade (yes, correct behavior). For now, I have copied it to the /etc/systemd directory, but this seems wrong because I won't get any subsequent changes to the service file. I tried using the method "systemd edit snmpd.service" but this did not work; don't know why. snmpd needs to load MIBS, otherwise it is pretty useless (or at lease unfriendly). I have never really understood why Debian ships with all MIBS blocked, but at least, it needs a clear and approved method of undoing that. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages snmpd depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.71 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libmariadb3 1:10.3.23-0+deb10u1 ii libsnmp-base 5.7.3+dfsg-5+deb10u1 ii libsnmp30 5.7.3+dfsg-5+deb10u1 ii lsb-base 10.2019051400 snmpd recommends no packages.
