Hello,

I just tried to install owncloud 9.0.0, and it failed loudly. They changed the way random numbers are chosen. So if you have mcrypt extension and your web server is chrooted (and/or your web directory is mounted nodev, which is the default), mcrypt will fail to read /dev/urandom. This will create an exception and the next means of getting random numbers will not be tried, leading owncloud to fail completely.
I made a patch for the 3rd party library they call:

Best Regards
