Thanks Oliver and Christian. Will try these and post back to the list with
any progress.

Thanks Christian, you have a good memory!
My gut feeling is that we're going to hit this SNMP.pm availability issue
with more distros if it starts with Red Hat. It's a good idea to suggest
the containerised version, but eventually Alpine Linux might go the same
way and drop net-snmp-perl. We try to keep the Netdisco install as smooth
and simple as possible and this is a bit broken for a major distro right
now (Rocky Linux too? I've not checked).
Alien::SNMP (and all Alien packages) should check for existence of their
library, and only act to build locally if it's not there. So in theory, we
can quietly substitute "SNMP" for "Alien::SNMP" in the SNMP::Info Build.PL
dependencies list and the problem goes away. Some people will
have installed the distro package, others will need it building for them.
That is the theory and it needs testing ;-). The
Alien::SNMP dist isn’t well developed and could be improved there.
regards
Oliver.

I just tested on Rocky Linux and the net-snmp-perl and net-snmp-devel
packages install from the appstream repository. I'm new to using a
supported distro (RH) so am going to poke around in the support agreement
to see what adding that repo might do to support.
