Policy 7.6 suggests that "Breaks/Replaces: libsnmp15 (<< 5.7.2~dfsg-5)"
would be more appropriate.

Ah, I see. This is a side-effect of the fact that hplip hasn't been
rebuilt against libsnmp30 yet. This will sort itself out as the
transition progresses, but in the meantime keeping the old version of
the net-snmp packages installed would be the right thing to do in this
case.

Unfortunately this sort of thing will happen sometimes in unstable,
particularly for packages involved in a transition.

Regards,

Adam

Ah, thanks - I wasn't aware that libsnmp15 was being deprecated. That
makes sense.

Thanks.

Sure. A certain amount of package breakage is inevitable when tracking
unstable. It just looked to me as if the fix on this bug was designed to
prevent this particular dependency issue. Clearly not :-)
