Package: haveged-udeb Version: 1.9.19-2 Severity: serious Tags: d-i Justification: makes the package useless, arguably critical X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]Hi, haveged doesn't start at all in d-i, and that's not an apparmor issue (#1087318): haveged: command socket is listening at fd 3 haveged: Couldn't create named semaphore haveged_sem error: No such file or directory While haveged is supposed to be less critical than it used to be at the time it was added to the installer, I don't remember seeing a study making it clear it can be removed. At this point of the release cycle, I'd rather see haveged fixed anyway.
Hi. I started to use haveged for my archive rebuilds because the build-time tests of several cryptography-related packages used to fail. (If you are curious, see #834683, #841208, #850269 or #850299). The changes in Linux 5.4 are said to make haveged unnecessary, so I removed it from my autobuilding setup in 2023-11. Since then, I've built the whole of bullseye, bookworm, trixie and sid several times, using the kernel in bookworm, and I have not experienced any of those problems again. So I believe it's generally safe to stop using haveged at this point (if you are using a recent enough kernel). (Not an "official study", but maybe it might help). Thanks.
