Bug#1032201: snmpd: uses chown user.group syntax

[наб]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.9.3+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

chown user.group is an ancient BSD remnant, and also invalid, since,
naturally, usernames can have dots in them
(coreutils really ought to start warning on this nonstandard usage).

Attaching patch based on current Salsa HEAD (e2da187de2da19a4aa8e9520)
to turn the one usage into correct user:group.

Best,
наб
