Fixed by adding /var/lib/urandom into volatiles.

Doesn't this mean that the persistent state of urandom will be saved
to a ramdisk?

Mixing up persistent and transient state in /var is exactly why /run
exists, and why we should switch to support /run as soon as
possible...

Sorry, this was my suggestion, It actually is creating /var/lib/urandom which should be a persistent sub-dir of /var

I was bouncing back and for about it being in the the recipe's do_install vs populate volaties file, I did not see any other /var/lib/<dir> being created so I leaned toward this solution. This was on the list a week or so ago, we could go back to itbeing created in the do_install()

Sau!
