Version: 5.9.1+dfsg-3
Severity: critical

Hi there,

snmpd is currently failing to install due to a problem with its postint
file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Setting up snmpd (5.9.1+dfsg-3) ...
adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/snmp' does not belong to the 
user you are currently creating.
chown: cannot access '/var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package snmpd (--configure):
 installed snmpd package post-installation script subprocess returned error 
exit status 1
Setting up libsnmp-perl (5.9.1+dfsg-3) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of autopkgtest-satdep:
 autopkgtest-satdep depends on snmpd; however:
  Package snmpd is not configured yet.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This has been introduced by the following commit:

  
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/net-snmp/-/commit/7f3bc627f40f99b232193efa0fb600c4be734c2b

As can be seen, the postinst script is trying to perform a chown on
"$SNMP_DIR/snmpd.conf", which doesn't exist when the package has just
been installed.

The fix is simple and I will file a Merge Request on salsa soon.

Thanks,
