Unfortunately rng-tools is only a virtual package pulling in rng-tools- debian. And even worse, autopkgtest installs rng-tools (rng-tools- debian in the end) when setting up a qemu image [1]. There is a rng-tools5 package, however its maintainer looks MIA to me. Do you now whether rng-tools5 can serve as a drop-in replacement for rng-tools-debian? Or are you aware of any incompatibilities. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/-/blob/master/setup-commands/setup-testbed?ref_type=heads#L586 > > You can just start rngd manually, too.
