 Trying to install nagios plugin, I get the following error
[root at nagios ppadaki]# rpm -ivh nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm
warning: nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY,
key ID 6b8d79e6
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(Net::SNMP) is needed by nagios-plugins-1.3.1-10.1.fc3.rf.i386
 
Tried installing 1.4.x version, but the error message is the same.

The rpm software is saynig that you need to have the Net::SNMP package
already installed, and it believes you do not have the required package.

If you have not installed Net::SNMP then obtain appropriate RPM and install
it, or download from CPAN and compile it (although then you will also need
to do the following step as rpm will not know about it)

If you know for sure you have already installed Net::SNMP (probably not via
rpm?) then you should add the '--nodeps --force' options to rpm to make it
install the package anyway -- this ignores the dependencies.  Be sure before
you do this, though.
