Public bug reported:
When upgrading snmpd, I get the following error:
dpkg: error processing snmpd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128
Errors were encountered while processing:
snmpd
I had the same problem with the previous upgrade of snmpd and I was able
to fix it by changing the snmpd.postinst file. I moved the two lines for
confmodule to the beginning of the file, see patch below.
Now it works.
