This change seems to have created a dependency conflict for libhpmud0,

depends on both libsnmp15 and libsnmp-base, but libsnmp15 is no longer
installable because of the conflict with libsnmp-base.

The consequence of this was that HP printers stopped working! Fixed only
by forcibly downgrading libsnmp-base to 5.4.3.

Which version are you trying to install? -7 no longer has a conflicts,
but a versioned Breaks / Replaces which should work okay.

It's with -7. aptitude output is as follows:

tom@maturin:~$ sudo aptitude install libsnmp-base=5.7.2~dfsg-7
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libsnmp-base{b}

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsnmp-base : Breaks: libsnmp15 (< 5.7.2~dfsg-5) but 5.4.3~dfsg-3 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:
1)     libhpmud0
2)     libsnmp15
3)     printer-driver-hpcups

     Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
4)     printer-driver-all recommends printer-driver-hpcups


I'm relatively new to handling dependency conflicts, so it's possible I'm doing something wrong - if so, I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

Thanks,
