[Patch] Add support for digests detected from ECC certificates

Thanks for taking the time to file this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better.

Does upstream have any plan to release this feature? Since this is a new feature (not a bug fix) I am setting the importance to Wishlist, and it will be included in the Ubuntu development release as soon as upstream releases a new version containing it.

Upstream have accepted and committed the following patch:

https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/commit/a1968db524e087a36a19a351b89bf6f1633819aa

I tend to agree with Lucas that this is a wishlist bug. As such, it's better if we wait until upstream makes a new release and Debian picks up this patch, which will then mean that Ubuntu will also have the patch when the next merge is done.

I don't think we should backport this to Impish because of the above. If, during the next cycle (LTS), we notice that Debian will not have this feature available in time, then we can reassess the need to backport it.

I understand this was released in net-snmpd v5.9.1 in May 2021.

I don't think that's the case: v5.9.1 has been cut from the V5-9-patches upstream branch [1], which doesn't include the commit you identified as implementing support for ECC certificates.

I agree with Sergio in that we shouldn't backport this to Ubuntu, at least not during this development cycle. The feature hasn't even been released in any upstream release after all.
