Public bug reported: [Availability] The package libcrypt-urandom-perl is already in universe for quite a while. The package libcrypt-urandom-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on. It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcrypt-urandom-perl
[Rationale] The package libcrypt-urandom-perl is required in Ubuntu main for the new version of libauthen-sasl-perl (2.1900-1) to work (runtime dependency). The package libcrypt-urandom-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of our user base, but is important/helpful still because libauthen-sasl-perl and this new dependency improves the source of randomness (CVE-2025-40918) even though it is not really a fix for that particular issue, since the mechanism is obsolete for a while now. But overall this can be a good addition for future needs of randomness. There is no other/better way to solve this that is already in main or should go universe->main instead of this. This is the first time package will be in main. The binary package libcrypt-urandom-perl needs to be in main for libauthen-sasl-perl to work. It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the package libcrypt-urandom-perl in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.
