I think understand the problem here, but it isn't clear to me that it's
a bug in the openssl update either. It is surely normal and expected
that regular updates (including security updates) might result in a
greater entropy requirement.

It would be nice if we could arrange things to block for longer without
failing when blocked on entropy. I'm not sure that increasing timeouts
is really going to help though, if the system fundamentally doesn't have
a good entropy source.

So it isn't obvious to me where this needs to be fixed, if anywhere at
all but the sysadmin in providing the system with no entropy.

Further discussion welcome.
