[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#971518: Bug#971518: libsnmp30: Depends on missing package

[Craig Small]

Hi Michael,
  I'm not sure what you have done here.

libsnmp30 5.7.3+dfsg-5+deb10u1 is the current version in stable and depends
on libperl5.28 [1]
libperl5.28 is in stable [2]

libperl5.30 is not in stable, but it is in testing/unstable [3]

If you are using stable, then libsnmp30 will pull in libperl5.28
If you were using testing then, you should be using libsnmp40 not libsnmp30
and libsnmp40 depends on libperl5.30.

I cannot really see where you have a setup where you:
* have libsnmp30
* don't have libsnmp40
* don't have libperl5.28

Maybe just installing libsnmp40 will fix things?
