Created attachment 323056 [details] emerge --info Hello After upgrading net-snmpd to 5.7.2 on one of my xen guests, I can't start the daemon anymore. net-snmpd is trying to reach /proc/bus/pci. I've got this error message : "pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci pcilib: Cannot find any working access method." On my xen guests, there is no /proc/pus/pci ! I've found a workaround : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9470494/snmpd-cannot-open-proc-bus-pci. Unfortunately, I'm not enough "ebuild-aware" to build a patch for the ebuild with this workaround. I was thinking about a use flag which disable the pcilib.
For now use the -r2 which has an USE flag already — it just isn't the stable one. I'm not sure if xen is worth a second stable, even with this being a regression.

Thank you very much. I'm sorry that I didn't found the "related" bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432926. I've emerged the masked net-snmp-5.7.2_rc1-r1 ebuild (I didn't found the r2, but this one has the pci USE flag), and the snmpd daemon started successfully. The SNMP requests are back ! Regards
