libsnmpkit1 and libsnmpkit2 appear to be disaster area packages.
libsnmpkit1 should never have installed libsnmpkit.so.2.0.0, and the
maintainer really should have known what was happening rather than
saying "I have no idea of what triggers [this bug] so I am trying a wild
guess" ...
Anyway, a bug against libsnmpkit2 has already been closed by adding an
explicit conflict (breaking the expectation that you should be able to
install multiple library versions simultaneously, but hey), and a new
version of pconf-detect is available that depends on libsnmpkit2.
Upgrade to those and you should be fine.
