Public bug reported:
If I am running snmpd (which I was) and I install snmp (which I did), it
kills snmpd due to a pre-install step of the snmp package that calls a
'killall -u snmp' :(
Found the pre-install step here:
user@host3:~$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/snmp.preinst
#! /bin/sh
set -e
action="$1"
killall -u snmp 2>/dev/null || true
if [ "$action" = upgrade ]
then
if [ -L /usr/share/doc/snmp ]; then
rm -f /usr/share/doc/snmp
fi
if [ -d /usr/doc/snmp ]; then
rm -rf /usr/doc/snmp
fi
fi
exit 0
