$ net-snmp-config --agent-libs
-Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lnetsnmpmibs
-lsensors -lpci -ldl -lnetsnmpagent -lwrap -Wl,-E -lnetsnmp -lcrypto
-lm

This should really only be -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lnetsnmpmibs
-lnetsnmpagent. Packages that rely on --agent-libs get at least
these extra, unnecessary dependencies:

  libsensors5
  libwrap0
  libpci3

Hi Chris,
 Does --netsnmp-agent-libs give you the right answer?

That option only gives net-snmp libraries.

It is also incorrect as it uses -lnetsnmpmibs, which requires the
additional libs provided with --agent-libs.
