sorry about that
Second, how is anything here a gnutls bug, *at all*? gnutls itself does not "exit", it's a library; if it's returning errors due to the bug described in 348835, that is a perfectly reasonable thing to do -- what the heck do you expect a cryptography library to do in the abscence of entropy?
It is not a question about what to do in abscence of entropy it's about the exit code. Because Debian compiles some other libraries with gnutls instead of openssl and gnutls returns a non standard exit code, in this case it can break other software.
In my case postfix fails to return the error message from gnutls because it expects a 0 or 1 exit code.
I assumed that this was the way to report this. So that you can take action if you think it is necessary.
