"Seems a bit strange to require a perl module to be installed by default on *all* Debian systems, just to run a random translator while some alternatives exist." is what you would hear from the other point of view. I have to say that making something like a random translator use perl wasn't looking very sensible to me (e.g. since perl uses /dev/random, which brings some bootstrapping issues). > > -Provides: makedev, login > > -Replaces: makedev, login > > -Conflicts: makedev, login > > +Provides: makedev, login, random-egd > > +Replaces: makedev, login, random-egd > > +Conflicts: makedev, login, random-egd > > I'm not an expert on this stuff -- but isn't "provides" rather odd in > this case?... IIRC I had to use it else it wouldn't upgrade nicely. but maybe a "Breaks" instead would make it work. > > + if showtrans /dev/random 2> /dev/null | grep -q entropy.sock > > + then > > + # old random-egd translator, remove > > + settrans -g /dev/random > > + settrans -g /dev/urandom > > + fi > > You probably want -gf here, or perhaps -go. -go should be just fine indeed.
