I agree to "I've worked around this for a few years now; it would be nice to see an upstream fix merged.". If the upstream policy on releasing would not be that bad Debian and Ubuntu would also have that for years already.
Anyway no time to complain ... with your suggestions I got a repro case: On any Bionic system: $ apt install snmpd snmp snmp-mibs-downloader # Add to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf view systemonly included .1.3.6.1.2.1.25 rocommunity public localhost $ systemctl restart snmpd $ snmpbulkget -v2c -c public -Cn1 -Cr1 -Os localhost HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWInstalledTable hrSWInstalledIndex.0 = INTEGER: 0 Installed from the ppa: $ snmpbulkget -v2c -c public -Cn1 -Cr1 -Os localhost HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWInstalledTable hrSWInstalledIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1 Also the upgrade was smooth, with all that in place (MP, Test, ...) ready to upload. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314760 Title: first hrSWInstalledIndex is 0, should be 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/1314760/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
