Bug Description

I have tested this on a freshly installed Ubuntu 10.10. I only did "apt-get install snmp snmpd"
Looks like there are missing MIBs that are referenced by existing MIBs but I can't find them in any Ubuntu package.
I had to manually copy SNMPv2-SMI SNMPv2-TC and INET-ADDRESS-MIB which are referenced by:
~$ egrep -l "INET-ADDRESS-MIB|SNMPv2-TC|SNMPv2-SMI" /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/*
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/GNOME-SMI
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/INET-ADDRESS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/LM-SENSORS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXAMPLES-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-MONITOR-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-PASS-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-TC
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMPv2-SMI
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/SNMPv2-TC
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DEMO-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DISKIO-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-DLMOD-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-IPFWACC-MIB
/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/UCD-SNMP-MIB

Now, although this might not be a problem I thought it was relevant.

The real problem is that snmp is not able to resolve even the basic system oids, checking with snmpwalk:

No OID has been resolved, even the snmptranslate examples from the snmptranslate manpage don't work for me.
I've tried the same in a freshly installed Debian system under the same circumstances and the oids were resolved to MIB and attribute names.

Tried on 10.10, indeed the mibs are not resolved.

I am also affected by this issue. Currently I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, and I have installed snmpd. I then installed the snmp-mips-downloader package and installed the mips. This helped significantly because now it can resolve 'system' and others.

What is still at issue is that any of the extended commands now fail with the error:

root@thedraft:~# snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull."test1".0
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutputFull.test1.0 = No more variables left in this MIB View (It is past the end of the MIB tree)

NVM. I found that my issue was caused by a restricted view. I think the snmp-mibs-download package is what you are looking for. You can google about it. Basically it seems debian stopped shipping the mibs due to potential legal reasons, but there is a package that will download them for you.
