Package: snmp-mibs-downloader Version: 1.1 Severity: wishlist just stumbled over this. snmp.conf (from libsnmp) says:
--- # As the snmp packages come without MIB files due to license reasons, loading # of MIBs is disabled by default. If you added the MIBs you can reenable # loaging them by commenting out the following line. mibs : --- It took me a bit of time to find out that I need to do this. My wish here would be that the user is informed about the need of this change (because we _are_ downloading the MIBs here). Maybe using a debconf-infobox when this packet is installed and the above config-file is present? Maybe it could even ask if it can perform this change immediately? -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-rc3+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages snmp-mibs-downloader depends on: ii patch 2.6-2 Apply a diff file to an original ii smistrip 0.4.8+dfsg2-3 extract MIB from text files like R ii wget 1.12-2.1 retrieves files from the web snmp-mibs-downloader recommends no packages.
