Package: linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64 Version: 4.19.0-5 Issue: ======
After upgrading to Debian Buster, Xen PV guests' entropy pool is too low to start cryptographic services in a timely manner. This results in 30+ second delays in the startup of services such as SSH. If I connect to the VM's virtual VNC console and move the mouse during boot, the system very rapidly collects entropy and crypto-dependent services like SSH start with no delay. The symptoms are identical to a bug I reported for Debian 9 (bug #897917). Workaround: =========== Install `haveged`. If another RNG feeds the entropy pool, the VM and its services boot as expected.
