Bug Description

Hi,

While trying to make snmpd work on Oneiric I noticed snmp-mibs-downloader does not exist although package libsmi2-common suggests its installation.

Without installing snmp-mibs-downloader we are unable to run commands such as:

snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 localhost system

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

snmp-mibs-downloader is located in multiverse.

This part of the archive is not enabled by default in the oneiric cloud images - you can enable it by editing:

  sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

That should fix your issue.

Marking this bug as 'Invalid' - if you are still encountering issues after enabling multiverse please set the status back to 'New'.

Changed in net-snmp (Ubuntu):

Thanks James!

I did not realise multiverse was not enabled.
Once installed the package and commenting /etc/snmp/snmp.conf mib parameter to use proprietary licenses, it worked.
