I've hit an issue with git that has me stumped at a customer site - so I have limited visibility on what is actually wrong. This is pretty urgent that I resolve this.
In git/wrapper (lines 477 from :
if (csprng_bytes(&v, sizeof(v)) < 0)
return error_errno("unable to get random bytes for temporary file");First, I was not aware that csprng was a git dependency - not sure why because we depend on OpenSSL_random that should return random bytes. Does this still mean that there is a dependency on PRNGD, or is there another dependency I am missing.
Should I get them to revert back to an older git version (which one)? Is a patch needed?
Thanks, Randall
