[Bug 270713] [NEW] snmpd: error getting netmask for interface

[Ian! D. Allen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: snmpd

Ubuntu 8.04.1
snmpd 5.4.1~dfsg-4ubuntu4

snmpd 5.4.1 needs to be updated to 5.4.2 to get rid of these errors in
syslog:

    snmpd[27689]: error getting netmask for interface 2

Syslog fills with hundreds of these errors if you have a network
interface, e.g. eth2, with no IP address, but you have an alias,
e.g. eth2:1, that does have an IP address (and netmask).

Please pull down the patched version 5.4.2 from upstream?
Or perhaps you can point me at a package repository that has a patched version?
