This bug was fixed in the package net-snmp - 5.7.3+dfsg-1ubuntu2
---------------
net-snmp (5.7.3+dfsg-1ubuntu2) wily; urgency=medium
* debian/snmp.preinst:
It turns out that the original motivation why killall was added is gone.
So we can just remove the killall introduced by Ubuntu LP #573391
(Closes: #781257, LP: #1245604)

Title:
"killall -u snmp" in a pre-install step kills any running snmpd
Status in net-snmp package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in net-snmp package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
If I am running snmpd (which I was) and I install snmp (which I did),
it kills snmpd due to a pre-install step of the snmp package that
calls a 'killall -u snmp' :(
Found the pre-install step here:
user at host3:~$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/snmp.preinst
#! /bin/sh
set -e
action="$1"
killall -u snmp 2>/dev/null || true
if [ "$action" = upgrade ]
then
if [ -L /usr/share/doc/snmp ]; then
rm -f /usr/share/doc/snmp
fi
if [ -d /usr/doc/snmp ]; then
rm -rf /usr/doc/snmp
fi
fi
exit 0
