Description Fedja Beader 2014-07-09 22:05:03 UTC 
sys-apps/rng-tools-4-r5 installs rngd with a TEXTREL, causing /etc/init.d/rngd not to start at boot.

This issue is possibly present in more versions of the rng-tools ebuild. ChangeLog says it is fixed in -4-r6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge '=sys-apps/rng-tools-4-r5' # current stable as of my tree sync
2. /etc/init.d/rngd start
Actual Results:  
/etc/init.d/rngd start
 * Starting rngd ...
/usr/sbin/rngd: error while loading shared libraries: cannot make segment writable for relocation: Permission denied
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/rngd'
 * Failed to start rngd                                                                                                                                                    [ !! ]
 * ERROR: rngd failed to start

Expected Results:  
no red, more green.

(not a regression over current stable, if still valid with -r7, that includes the patch, I would reopen the old bug report as it wasn't solved then)

This was fixed long ago.
