retitle 923674 systemd: test-stat-util fails with SIGABRT when /dev/random is bind-mounted from /dev/urandom
severity 923674 normal
thanks

Sorry for this false positive. I think this retitle reflects much better the issue.

The reason I would still consider this as a bug (with whatever severity
you like) is that symlinking /dev/random to /dev/urandom is a common
workaround for lack of entropy, which in turn has traditionally been a
common problem for anybody who tries to build a lot of packages in a row.

BTW: After building 28500 source packages in buster, I only found
another package which failed for this very reason:

(Still trying the build in my autobuilders with the fixed fstab
but I expect it will work this time).

Thanks a lot.
