The version of the snmp tools in slink is not 64-bit aware. The current
snmp packages in unstable are ok (they were last I tried).
You may try compiling them from sources; you'll probably need a recent
debhelper or some twiddling with debian/rules. Or you may try a partial
upgrade to potato (just snmp and its deps).
