Actually I found it in the meantime. /, including /var, was read-only.
The resppnsible code reads:
| seed_fd = open(RANDOM_SEED, O_RDWR|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOCTTY|O_CREAT, 0600);
| if (seed_fd < 0) {
| seed_fd = open(RANDOM_SEED, O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOCTTY);
So it ignores the error given by the first call (EROFS), which would be
a clear indication, and only provides the useless second one.
