[nmav@gnutls.org: Bug#760476: gnutls28 3.3.8-3]
Looks like this needs to be fixed in cups. See

Thank you. The log shows that indeed reading from /dev/urandom fails.
Unfortunately the strace does not start from an early stage, so I cannot
see what happens with file descriptor 3 which is supposed to be
/dev/urandom. What I see though is that fd 3 is also used in epoll_ctl(),
and I suspect that cups has some code that closes all open descriptors.
If that's the case it will disrupt gnutls' usage of /dev/urandom the
way we see here.
regards,
Nikos

Thanks, it seems I am correct. Cups closes all open descriptors. I
don't know what I can do in gnutls to fix that. That looks like that
should be addressed in cups.

The best that I can think of is having a function to check whether a
particular fd is in use by gnutls (and that could be ported to 3.3.10
if it is to be used by cups). I don't see how that can be solved
transparently to an application.
