Q:

Installing a package from repositories of an older release on a newer Ubuntu

Snmpd for Ubuntu 11.10 has some issues, so I want to install snmpd from Ubuntu 10.04 lucid repositories. How can this be done?

A:

Please do this at your own risk

Remove SNMPD  
sudo apt-get remove snmpd

Download this package from lucids repositories

32 bit - Download from here 
64 bit - Download from here 

The dependencies should be satisfied. Install all of them and you are done.
