Since it took me a while to figure out the answer, I will post this here to try to help the next guy who has trouble when upgrade snmpd to 5.2.2. The rest of you won't care about this post.
could not open /proc/net/if_inet6
cache has existing timer id.
Error opening specified endpoint "localhost:161"
The first two are warnings (as far as I know) and can be ignored.

The last is the important part, and because the latest version (at least on Debian) defaults to checking on localhost, you no longer need to explicitly specify localhost in the snmpd.conf file, so comment out "agentaddress localhost:161", and you will be fine.
