Hello !

It's been a while since rngd is failing to start with:

> /usr/bin/rngd: error while loading shared libraries: libp11.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But then:

> % ls /usr/lib/libp11.so*
> /usr/lib/libp11.so@  /usr/lib/libp11.so.2@  /usr/lib/libp11.so.2.6.0*

And:

> % pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libp11.so
> /usr/lib/libp11.so is owned by libp11 0.4.12-3

Moreover:

> % pacman -Ss libp11
> system/libp11-kit 0.25.5-1 [installed]
>     Loads and enumerates PKCS#11 modules (library)
> world/libp11 0.4.12-3 [installed]
>     A library implementing a small layer on top of the PKCS11 API
> extra/libp11 0.4.12-3 [installed]
>     A library implementing a small layer on top of the PKCS11 API

It's not that artix is out of date with respect to arch, they both provide the same version of libp11.  Though rng-tools on artix is behind arch (6.16-2 vs. 6.17-1):

> % pacman -Ss rng-tools
> world/rng-tools 6.16-2 [installed]
>     Random number generator related utilities
> world/rng-tools-dinit 20211102-4 (dinit-world) [installed]
>     dinit service scripts for rng-tools
> world/rng-tools-openrc 20210505-1 (openrc-galaxy)
>     OpenRC rng-tools init script
> world/rng-tools-runit 20180314-5 (runit-galaxy)
>     Runit service script for rng-tools
> world/rng-tools-s6 20230829-1 (s6-world)
>     s6-rc service scripts for rng-tools
> extra/rng-tools 6.17-1 [installed: 6.16-2]
>     Random number generator related utilities

But that shouldn't be the issues, since a more recent version of rngd would required even more up to date libp11 dependencies.  On arch, I don't see issues filed against libp11 neither rng-tools, so that confuses me.  Anyone else noticing it?  I have no clue how to deal with this.

Thanks !
