[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#993997: Bug#993997: snmpd: missing dependency procps

[Craig Small]

Hi Sophie,
  I have made this a Recommends rather than a Depends because procps is not
essential for the normal running of snmpd. Most people would have procps
installed so now we are down to a corner case of
1) Not having procps installed
2) Having snmpd installed
3) warning to run net-snmp-create-v3-user

which is not that a common combination I'd expect.

Recommends means "it really should be there but if you don't want to
install it then that's ok".

 - Craig
