Description Roman Žilka 2013-05-15 22:47:17 UTC
Apache is a service which may, hypothetically, start establishing encrypted connections very early after start. Because of that, it could benefit from "use entropy" in the initscript's depend(). "Entropy" is provided by RNG control daemons such as rng-tools.

Reproducible: Always

Patches are highly welcome as I don't have the resources to do this anytime soon.
