net-snmp depends on rpm?

[Lamont R. Peterson]

Just wondering...why does net-snmp need these RPM rpms:

librpm-4.2.so is needed by (installed) net-snmp-5.1-2.1
librpmdb-4.2.so is needed by (installed) net-snmp-5.1-2.1
librpmio-4.2.so is needed by (installed) net-snmp-5.1-2.1

Because you can query the package database via SNMP, so the rpm library
is linked into the package.

*nod* This is somewhat equivalent to "rpm -qa":

  snmpwalk -Oq -Os -c yourCommunity remote.host hrSWInstalledName
