The correct solution, as stated by the person who logged
the bug, is to modify the postinst to the version below,
by moving the ". /usr/share/debconf/confmodule" line to
the start of the script.
To anyone who is trying unsuccessfully to install snmp:
the way I got it to work was:
1) Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/snmpd.postinst, as below
2) Run "aptitude reinstall snmpd"
# ----< cut here snmpd.postinst>-----
#! /bin/sh
set -e
. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
db_version 2.0
if [ "x$1" = xconfigure ]; then
if [ ! `getent group snmp>/dev/null` ]; then
deluser --quiet --system snmp
fi
adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home /var/lib/snmp
snmp
chown -R snmp:snmp /var/lib/snmp
fi
