Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
* the net-snmp-perl and net-snmp-devel subpackages only required matching versions of net-snmp and net-snmp-lib, not matching releases. This meant that an update of either subpackage would not result in updates to the current releases of net-snmp (to get correct MIB files) or net-snmp-libs (to get correct libraries). These subpackages now require the same release for net-snmp-perl and net-snmp-devel, ensuring that the MIB files and libraries are brought up to date.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-snmp-5.1.2-15
