From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461) Description of problem: The C-based perl module SNMP.pm included with the ucd-snmp source (and the source rpm) compiles, but dumps core. The problem is caused by some invalid code in the mib.c module. The Net-SNMP project has released 4.2.5, which fixes this problem and another problem with the perl module (an error in t/mib.t). I would recommend just copying out the two one-line fixes from the code there to fix the issue with the perl module. For an example of why having a working, compilable version of the perl module is important, see bug 64138. I wholly concur about that bug's needs. The SNMP perl-module should at least be available as an add-on package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compile perl module that comes with net-snmp source 2. run make test Actual Results: module dumps code whenever doing mib-related symbol lookups Expected Results: module should successfully perform mib-related symbol lookups Additional info: see bug 64138 for reasons why RedHat should pay attention to the included portions (including the perl module) of Net-SNMP.
I've updated bug 64138 with what i wanted to write here: I've updated ucd-snmp to version 4.2.5, so things should work now. I've verified that the make test of the perl-SNMP module now works nearly completely (fails only for a few things, but nothing serious FWICT). Read ya, Phil
In 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
