Several weeks ago I decided to add this line /dev/urandom /dev/random none rw,bind 0 0 to /etc/schroot/default/fstab, to cope with packages which seem to need a lot of entropy. Today I built this package 100 times and it failed none. The problem here is that we don't have an "entropy" package to be added to build-depends to ensure that there is enough entropy available, and I'm not really supposed to have a /dev/random device which is really /dev/urandom. Some crypto-related packages solved this problem by using pregenerated keys. Example: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=834683 I'm not sure you would want to do that, but in either case, I'm downgrading this bug to normal and removing it from my list of "FTBFS-randomly" bugs. I assume lack of entropy is the reason. Thanks.
