Package: snmptt
Version: 1.5-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
snmptt 1.5-3 ships /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini with ipv6_enable = 1 (line 234).
With that setting /usr/sbin/snmptt needs the Perl module Net::IP (lines 519 to
529) and stops with "Could not load the Perl module Net::IP! If ipv6_enable is
enabled then the Net::IP module is required." when it is missing.
The package does not depend on libnet-ip-perl, so on a system where nothing
else installed it, snmptt.service fails at every start with the default
configuration.
Installing libnet-ip-perl makes it start, and snmptt's own documentation lists
Net::IP as required for IPv6.
The fix is one line in debian/control:

I found this with AI assistance and checked it myself on Debian forky.
