Package: snmpd
Version: 5.4.1~dfsg-4
Severity: important
Hi,
I just upgraded snmpd on a few servers to 5.4.1 (to get rid of the xen errors)
and all of them failed miserably on "Seeting up snmpd...."
Setting up snmpd (5.4.1~dfsg-4) ...
[... questions about config files ... ]
Installing new version of config file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf ...
Starting network management services:invoke-rc.d: initscript snmpd, action
"start" failed.
dpkg: error processing snmpd (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
On all the boxes the problem was the same: snmpd was running when dpkg
configured it.
I had to manually stop snmpd and dpkg --configure -a:
# /etc/init.d/snmpd stop
Stopping network management services: snmpd snmptrapd.
# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up snmpd (5.4.1~dfsg-4) ...
Starting network management services: snmpd.
Shouldn't the package itself stop snmpd before trying to start it? I think it
happened with older
versions also but I'm now sure.
Cheers,
Marc
