fwiw, I quickly tested '--debug-quick-random', and it does the trick, albeit for 2.1 only. So I unfortunately cannot use it (needing to support 1.4 still as well). I am now doing the doctest with pre-built keys, so this is will hopefully finally settle this issue with the next upload. Btw, it's only now that I actually grasp your initial problem was about entropy all along ;). I just blatantly assumed your initial bug report was about the doctest failing due to GPG 2.1 (which it did at the time, entropy or not). Thx, S
