The 'apt-cache policy' output is saying that you have systemd currently installed at version 232-14, but that based on your sources you can go up to version 232-25+deb9u1. I recommend that you run 'apt-get update' then 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to bring your system up to date. After that you should have no trouble installing libsnmp-dev. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
