These are good thoughts - that's what makes this so weird, as I am running standard Debian "testing", and I've got both /dev/random and /dev/urandom. I tried digging into the source of Apache to see if there's a nuance to the call, but I don't know enough about Apache to even find the error code (which I would have thought would be pretty easy, but no.)
/dev/random and /dev/urandom are not the same as the getrandom syscall. The /dev files are the old method of getting random numbers.
My temporary work-around has been to change my whole webserver, and got nginx installed and configured for all of my domains, but it's a very brute force approach, and took a couple of hours, as I don't really know nginx.
Did you install apache from testing too? Is everything consistently installed from testing? -- Len Sorensen
