openSUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for haveged ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2016:1771-1 Rating: moderate References: #958562 #959237 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 42.1 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has two recommended fixes can now be installed. Description: This update for haveged fixes the following issues: - Remedy the potential for deadlocks when booting the system: journald reads from /dev/random, which receives entropy from haveged, which in turn logs to syslog before providing any. (bsc#959237) - Remove "After=systemd-random-seed.service" from systemd service file to avoid the potential for deadlocks when booting the system: systemd-random-seed needs /var to read its previous state; mounting /var needs journald; journald needs entropy; and entropy is provided by haveged, which needs systemd-random-seed. (bsc#959237) - Add missing dependency on coreutils for initrd macros. (bsc#958562) This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:Update update project.
