Contents of /etc/apt/sources.list:


- Were there any non-Debian packages installed before the upgrade?  If
  so, what were they?

- Was the system pre-update a pure sarge system? If not, which packages
  were not from sarge?

- Did any packages fail to upgrade?

- Were there any problems with the system after upgrading?


Further Comments/Problems:

Please attach the output of "COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l" (or "env COLUMNS ...",
depending on your shell) from before and after the upgrade so that we
know what packages were installed on your system.

With 5.10.0.9, randomsound worked well to keep /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail up at set point and /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize at 4096
With 5.10.0.15, randomsound did not work to keep /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail up at set point and /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize was set at 256
I down graded back to 5.10.0.9

Hi Norman,

<snip unfilled template>

I've seen the same drop in entropy_avail, but the changelog mentioned a
lot of changes to random, so I interpreted that as being intended. I've
reassigned to the linux source package, as they can confirm that this is
not a bug, or treat it appropriately.
