Re: Getting rid of ucd-snmp (libsnmp4.2)

just a note that the cyrus22-common package from http://incase.de/cyrus22/i386/
also depends on libsnmp4.2

that's how i noticed that Blars broke libsnmp4.2 when he uploaded
version 4.2.5-5.1 ;)

so could you please not remove libsnmp4.2 while cyrus22-common is
still dependent on it?

Best,
