=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2_rc1 went stable one month ago, but letting portage upgrade to it results in interrupted SNMP service. This version of net-snmp depends on pciutils and will thus build with pcilib support enabled, even on systems without a PCI bus (amd64 Xen domU in my case). The resulting snmpd daemon will then refuse to start: # /etc/init.d/snmpd start * Starting snmpd ... pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci pcilib: Cannot find any working access method. This behavior has already been fixed in bug #432926 with the addition of net-snmp-5.7.2_rc1-r1 to portage, but the currently stable version is still the broken one. =net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2_rc1 should be removed or at least marked unstable to prevent correctly working systems to upgrade and interrupt service. The -r1 version should be marked stable to provide an upgrade path.
Should be fixed in -r1. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 432926 ***
