From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 Description of problem: mib2c, the SNMP MIB-to-C-code translater needs a perl module named SNMP.pm in order to run properly. mib2c is part of ucd-snmp-utils packages. The error message is as follows: [fxk@tarifa1 fxk]% mib2c ERROR: You don't have the SNMP perl module installed. Please obtain this by getting the latest source release of the ucd-snmp toolkit from http://www.net-snmp.org/download/ . The perl module is contained in the perl/SNMP directory. See the INSTALL file there for instructions. I suppose that the build machine (stripples.devel.redhat.com) where the package was built has this SNMP.pm installed, but not in the build environment... Looking into the /usr/lib/perl5 directory structure, it appears that the file is missing. Looking at the RedHat 7.2 packages & update packages, it appears that no perl extension package provides the SNMP.pm file. [fxk@tarifa1 perl5]% cd /usr/lib/perl5 [fxk@tarifa1 perl5]% find . -name SNMP.pm [fxk@tarifa1 perl5]% ucd-snmp-utils pre-installation script should check for the presence of SNMP.pm. Alternatively, the ucd-snmp-utils ".spec" script should look for Perl packages dependencies when building ucd-snmp-utils binary package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install ucd-snmp-utils 2. run "mib2c" 3. fix that stuff... :-) Actual Results: [fxk@tarifa1 perl5]% mib2c ERROR: You don't have the SNMP perl module installed. Please obtain this by getting the latest source release of the ucd-snmp toolkit from http://www.net-snmp.org/download/ . The perl module is contained in the perl/SNMP directory. See the INSTALL file there for instructions. [fxk@tarifa1 perl5]% Expected Results: something like a help / synopsis output, giving a bit more... Additional info: The severity field below does not provide something like "the functionnality of the component is OOS, but the system can still operate normally", so I fill that bug as "Normal".
OK, i've updated the ucd-snmp package to the latest release. I'll verify myself that the perl-SNMP module builds with that one and works and will close this bug if it passes the make test. Read ya, Phil
n the next upcoming release we will provide a net-snmp-package again coming along with the net-snmp package. A rawhide version will be available soon. Read ya, Phil
There might be a mis-understanding there. The problem is that net/ucd-snmp utility mib2c (provided by RedHat) does not work in absence of perl-SNMP (which is not provided by RedHat AFAIK) not the opposite. Hope things are clarified.
Sure. Thats why in the next release this utility will be packaged into the net-snmp-perl package in order to fullfill this requirement. Or am i missing something else here? :-) Read ya, Phil
No this is fine. Any chance to get this back-ported on ucd-snmp on our (supported) RHAS-2.1 systems (ia32 & ia64)?
I've just looked at the latest errata we have released for AS2.1 and it already contains a perl subdirectory like the net-snmp version. So i guess it should be doable, haven't verified it yet though. I'll present it to our AS2.1 feature meeting in 2 weeks and see to get a GO for it. Shouldn't be a problem i guess, but i'll let you know here when i know more. Read ya, Phil
