Package: libsnmp-base Version: 5.4.2.1~dfsg-3 Severity: important I have a package that has a build dependency on some of the MIB's that use to be provided by 5.4.1~dfsg-12 package. With the new "fetch MIBS" system I am unable to use a build depend to satisfy the requirement.
This really shows up when using pbuilder to build my package. libsnmp-base gets installed but the mibs do not get fetched. The same situation could happen if a user says no to the mib fetch or if the mib fetch fails. As it stands now I don't see any reliable way to build depend on libsnmp-base and have it actually provide the required mibs. Also, I would guess the debian autobuilders are going to be in the same situation as pbuilder. At a minimum, can the mibs be distributed in a non-free package? At least that would make it possible to satisfy the build dependency. Thanks, Troy
