[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#838382: isc-dhcp FTCBFS: fails to detect random device

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: isc-dhcp
Version: 4.3.5~b1-1
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

isc-dhcp fails to cross build from source, because it fails to detect
which random device to use. In former times, setting
ac_cv_file__dev_random was sufficient, but this variable is now ignored
by isc-dhcp's configure. Thus explicitly passing
--with-randomdev=/dev/random looks like the way to go. I check that this
value is correct for at least linux-any, kfreebsd-any and hurd-any.
Please consider applying the attached patch.

Helmut
