[Bug 802367] [NEW] snmpd reports "truncating integer value > 32 bits" at ERROR loglevel, should be DEBUG

[William Van Hevelingen]

Public bug reported:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=597024

The "truncating integer value > 32 bits" logline should not be emitted
at the ERROR loglevel. On 64 bit machines there may be several counters
which are truncated and the truncation behavior is a natural result of
returning 32 bit counters. This logline should be emitted at INFO or
DEBUG loglevel so that sensible logging options maybe used with out this
logline spamming logs.

Theres' a patch on the debian bug tracker, but there doesn't appear to
be any movement. I'm hoping ubuntu can get the patch pushed upstream.
