How do we correct this situation, as it happens each time on new upgrades. I am not well versed in tracking down and fixing this type of error.

[James Page (james-page)]

Fixed in:

python-pysnmp2 (2.0.9-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Move Python modules back into the pysnmp.v2 namespace.
  * Depend on python-pysnmp-common (>= 4.1.9a-2), so that both packages use
    the same directory layout (closes: #609453).
