i just surfer in google and gor the solution. Before the problem araised, the net-snmp-5.7.3, snmp-mibs-downloader and snmpd were already downloaded by me. At this point of time, the libraries which will be used by snmpd are installed at two locations "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" and "/usr/local/lib". when I tried to start the snmpd, as the libraries were at two locations, snmpd service is confused which location of libraries to use.. Thus I have to remove the oldest libraries installed among them to make it work.
To check if you have the libraries at two locations use "find /usr/ -name libnetsnmp*" command on terminal. If you find 'libnetsnmp-' files on both the above mentioned locations, remove the oldest libs (in my case) using: "sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp*" This will solve the problem of snmpd to start. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713194 Title: package snmpd 5.7.3+dfsg-1ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/1713194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
