** Description changed: [impact] the 'dieharder' test eats entropy from haveged for hours, and hours, and hours. On armhf it takes over 12 hours and fails the test because it times out. There is no point to running this test to verify haveged is able to provide entropy. - - Instead just check entropy_avail to make sure haveged is providing some - entropy. [test case] run haveged autopkgtest, especially on armhf, e.g.: https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-groovy/groovy/armhf/h/haveged/20200901_232740_e112e@/log.gz [regression potential] - this just tests a different way, so any regression would likely involve - incorrectly failed (or passed) autopkgtest. + this change just runs the haveged build tests, so any regression would + likely involve incorrectly failed (or passed) autopkgtest. [scope] this is needed on b/f/g; there are no autopkgtests for haveged on x. I don't think debian has the same test hardware, so they likely only test on arm64, which takes a few hours, but passes, so this is only - required in debian to reduce ubuntu delta. + required in debian to reduce ubuntu delta. However the 'dieharder' test + is just as pointless on debian.
