Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: snmpd
Sorry if this was already reported but snmpd upgrade failed in "intrepid
(development branch)"
The postinst script tried to start snmpd but it was already started.
When I looked at the scripts it seems to be missing a snmpd stop in
preinst (there is one in prerm, but that doesn't seem to have an effect
on upgrade).
Anyway, I haven't played too much with dpkg package management, but it
seems like it should be in preinst since it is in packages like apache2
-mpm-prefork and postfix.
