Package: reseed Version: 1.1 Severity: normal After fetching a number sequence from random.org reseed does not convert them correctly into a byte stream before piping into /dev/urandom as intentioned. This seems to be due to a typo in the perl script:
# generate a byte stream from the numbers @bytes = split /\n/, $response->content(); map { chr($_) } @bytes; [...] print RANDOM (join "", @bytes); Changing the map into map { $_ = chr } @bytes; fixes this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
