An update that has two fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for haveged fixes the following issues:
- Remedy the potential for deadlocks when booting the system: journald reads from /dev/random, which receives entropy from haveged, which in turn logs to syslog before providing any. (bsc#959237)
- Remove "After=systemd-random-seed.service" from systemd service file to avoid the potential for deadlocks when booting the system: systemd-random-seed needs /var to read its previous state; mounting /var needs journald; journald needs entropy; and entropy is provided by haveged, which needs systemd-random-seed. (bsc#959237)
- Add missing dependency on coreutils for initrd macros. (bsc#958562)
