Package: kernel-patch-openswan
Version: 1:2.2.0-8
Severity: normal

I found a minor bug with the patch when snmpd checks the ipsec
interface.  Something about snmp calling for interfaces and not
realizing that ipsec0 is not a real NIC.

It looks like the same bug was reported and fixed at the
website located below.

I was able to work around this bug by turning off the executable flag on
chmod -x /etc/init.d/snmpd
