Hi Robert,
I had to tweak your patch slightly, but this is the result showing it working
and then suddenly it stops.

Patch change was NETSNMP_LOGONCE() -> snmp_log() because it didn't like it:
host/data_access/swinst_pkginfo.c:170:38: error: too many arguments provided to
function-like macro invocation
NETSNMP_LOGONCE(LOG_ERR, "SWInst: no pkg_directory available\n");
Thanks for your time.
