Description Merlin Mathesius 2016-12-13 22:18:50 UTC 
cryptopp-5.6.3-5.fc25 fails to build from source.

This affects Base Runtime, Rawhide, F25, and possibly older releases as well.

The reason is a defective RDSEED self-test that sometimes fails.

Discussion of the problematic test can be found at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.cryptopp/8028

An upstream commit that corrects the test can be found at https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/commit/0059f486ad0467d5c4dc692db99a5a5f96c2a733

A proposed patch that will fix the FTBFS problem will be attached to this BZ shortly.

Please apply the patch or respond with a reason it should not be applied within two weeks. After that time, a provenpackager will go ahead and apply it.

The above link for the discussion of the problematic test seems to have very recently expired. Here is a better link to it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cryptopp-users/SfAlNbw14Eo
