Same here. snmpd broke over night, now my mrtg which is reporting, e.g., 
disk temperatures using a smartctl-based cannot be reported anymore, and 
I was wondering why this cron job now keeps flooding my inbox... All 
intranet, all very inconvenient. As others mentioned, a warning would 
have been nice. Now I need to compile from sources. What a hassle!
