   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update for haveged fixes the following issues:

   - Remedy the potential for deadlocks when booting the system: journald
     reads from /dev/random, which receives entropy from haveged, which in
     turn logs to syslog before providing any. (bsc#959237)
   - Remove "After=systemd-random-seed.service" from systemd service file to
     avoid the potential for deadlocks when booting the system:
     systemd-random-seed needs /var to read its previous state; mounting /var
     needs journald; journald needs entropy; and entropy is provided by
     haveged, which needs systemd-random-seed. (bsc#959237)
   - Add missing dependency on coreutils for initrd macros. (bsc#958562)
