snmpd fails to upgrade

When upgrading snmpd, I get the following error:

dpkg: error processing snmpd (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128
Errors were encountered while processing:
 snmpd

I had the same problem with the previous upgrade of snmpd and I was able to fix it by changing the snmpd.postinst file. I moved the two lines for confmodule to the beginning of the file, see patch below.

Now it works.
