I'm fairly certain /dev/urandom is broken.
I'm trying to setup a machine to investigate this failure of Crypto++
(https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libcrypto%2B%2B&arch=hurd-i386&ver=5.6.4-9&stamp=1565561714&raw=0):
Testing operating system provided nonblocking random number generator...
FAILED: 100000 generated bytes compressed to 98749 bytes by DEFLATE
The problem could be Crypto++, but...
I performed a apt-get install:
gcc g++ gdb git subversion automake autoconf libtool
Some Python package complained it failed to get random numbers.
I just performed an apt-get install:
emacs-nox
And GnuTLS failed to initialize due to the random number generator.
Three different programs are failing due to the random number generator.
Something is sideways with /dev/urandom on this distribution.
