severity 561124 grave thanks Justification: renders package mostly unusable
I'm currently pulling a few packages from testing and/or unstable into a stable system to get some new features. One of these is lldpd, which now depends on libsnmp15 (>= 5.4.2.1~dfsg). Seeing that this could be pulled without any larger dependency problem, I decided to install it. I was really surprised to see that it is actually deliberately broken and has been so for a month, even allowing it to enter testing. Please try to run e.g. perl -MSNMP -e 'new SNMP::Session()' on a system with no MIBs and see the generated noise. Never mind that the change breaks any script the users may have created with symbolic OID names. Can we please agree that this currently is in no way suitable for release? The change should never have made it into testing without snmp-mibs-downloader being available. Too late for that, but let's ensure that it won't be in a Debian release. Hence this message.
