# systemctl status snmpd

● snmpd.service - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Main PID: 6061 (snmpd)

OEL 9, the RPM database switched from Berkeley DB to SQLite. The snmpd still searches for /var/lib/rpm/Packages which doesn’t exists on the system.

Conclusion:

This error can be safely ignored and this issue has been fixed in net-snmp package version 5.9.1-11.0.3.el9_3.1 or higher.
