Install SNMP not as easy as I thought

  • 772

Looks around for how to install SNMP. Finds multiple examples:

Just run "apt-get install snmpd".....

But when I do that I get errors. I do what it says: first run ap-get install snmpd, but it fails and tells me to try "apt-get -f install", but that fails and tells me to try "apt autoremove" but that fails and tells me to try "apt-get -f install" but that fails and.... [repeats circle of fun].

Would just like to get this Linux server (Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS) running SNMP on public and port 161. Defaults basically.

Any ideas? I am new-ish to Linux. For all of the dependencies, do I just run commands like this?:

apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-62-generic

apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic

apt-get install linux-image-generic

apt-get install thermald

apt-get install libsnmp30

apt-get install libsnmp-base

etc... etc...

I am not fluent in Linux so if you have suggestions, please explain how to accomplish those suggestions.

Here is the exact loop I'm going through:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-62-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-62-generic but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-64-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic but it is not going to be installed
                       Recommends: thermald but it is not going to be installed
 snmpd : Depends: libsnmp30 (= 5.7.3+dfsg-1ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libsnmp-base but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  linux-headers-4.4.0-51 linux-headers-4.4.0-51-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-62 linux-headers-4.4.0-62-generic linux-image-4.4.0-51-generic linux-image-4.4.0-62-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-51-generic
  linux-image-extra-4.4.0-62-generic
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  linux-image-4.4.0-62-generic linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic
Suggested packages:
  fdutils linux-doc-4.4.0 | linux-source-4.4.0 linux-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  linux-image-4.4.0-62-generic linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic
