it was moved to another file and renamed.
* Removed snmp_mpd_mib.*. The MPD group is now part of the
  USM (v3_mib.*).

You are possibly searching the mib added through MPDGroup().

There was another thread about communities a few days ago. Yes, if
SNMPv3 is enabled set_read/write_community() cannot be used, instead the
community mib should be used (although the other thread shows that
communitiy mib can be avoided) with the necessary vacm settings.
