[Bug 701944] Re: snmpd postinst fails if user cannot be deleted

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

I noticed that the proposed branch ( lp:~shuff/ubuntu/precise/net-snmp/fix-for-701944 ) includes a new copy of the line:
  if [ ! `getent passwd snmp >/dev/null` ]; then
(and also leaves the existing "group" line untouched), so I thought it was worth mentioning  debbugs #609430, which points out that the combo of backticks and redirection to /dev/null means the expression doesn't work as intended...
