Question

Snmpd for Ubuntu 11.10 has some issues, so I want to install snmpd from Ubuntu 10.04 lucid repositories. How can this be done?

Please do this at your own risk

Remove SNMPD
```
sudo apt-get remove snmpd
```
Download this package from lucids repositories
- 32 bit - Download from here
- 64 bit - Download from here

The dependencies should be satisfied. Install all of them and you are done.

@senthikumar Can you expand this to explain how to do that, or at least include links that explain how? – Eliah Kagan Jan 5 at 8:41
