Description Daniel Juarez 2022-04-14 13:14:35 UTC

Description of problem:


After https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Sqlite_Rpmdb, rpm changed from Berkeley DB to SQLite. SNMP is using these hardcoded paths to determine where RPM info is, so for example net-snmp-5.9.1-7.el9 [1] is trying to search for /var/lib/rpm/Packages and fails with the following error otherwise 


Can't find directory of RPM packages


[1] https://fossies.org/linux/net-snmp/agent/mibgroup/host/data_access/swinst_rpm.c

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

net-snmp-5.9.1-7.el9


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils
2. systemctl enable snmpd
3. systemctl start snmpd

Basically you get a different rpm dir struct, so code should take this into account:

[root@juarezcs9 ~]# ls /var/lib/rpm
rpmdb.sqlite  rpmdb.sqlite-shm  rpmdb.sqlite-wal

You're still getting set of installed packages correctly, the error message is the only redundant information in snmpd log.

I'll contact upstream authors and try to find some solution.

Josef, six months have passed now. Do you have any update?

Comment 4 Josef Ridky 2023-06-23 07:36:25 UTC

Hi,

I'll ping upstream for the update.
