`rngd` seems to be the root cause for slow boot issues, and its functionality is
redundant since kernel v3.17 (2014), which introduced a `krngd` task (in kernel
space) that takes care of pulling in data from hardware RNGs:

Closes: #96067
The build has been broken since gdk-pixbuf-xlib was broken out into a
separate package in #88086.
For some reason if I just add gdk-pixbuf-xlib.dev the headers don't make it
into CFLAGS.
This commit fixes the ejabberd tests for hydra:
mod_http_upload and mod_disco need to be explicitly enabled, and a
handler needs to be setup to make it work. Also, the client needs to be
able to contact the server.
The commit also fixes the situation where http upload failed: in that
case the client would wait forever because nothing catched the error.
Finally, there remains a non-reproducible error where ejabberd server
fails to start with an error like:
format: "Failed to create cookie file '/var/lib/ejabberd/.erlang.cookie': eacces"
(happens ~15%) I tried to check existence of /var/lib/ejabberd/ in
pre-start script and saw nothing that would explain this error, so I
gave up about this error in particular.
On darwin the compilation would fail with the following warning:
```
clang-7: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fno-strict-overflow' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
```
This error happens because the `-fno-strict-overflow` is passed to the compiler. To fix this, disable the `strictoverflow` hardening feature. Also see #39687.
ZHF: #97479
The `pass.withExtensions`-function uses `buildEnv` to create a
derivation which contains a `pass`-package and a list of extensions for
it.
However, this function always uses the `pass`-attribute for `buildEnv` which
will break e.g. `passmenu` or `pass show -c` on desktops using Wayland (and
`pass-wayland.withExtensions`) since the default `pass`-package without
support for Wayland's clipboard is used.
This patch replaces the `pass`-attribute in the derivation with
`pass-wayland` to work around this issue.
Jasper has been marked insecure for a while, and upstream has not
been responsive to CVEs for over a year.
Fixes #55388.

The build for this package was failing due to failing tests that were caused by a breaking change in a dependency. The requirements.txt for this package does not pin specific versions so it was trying to build with the new version of the dependency and failing. This commit overrides the version of the dependency that is used to build the package.
This commit pins go versions for nomad 0.11 and 0.12. Future versions of
Nomad should have their versions pinned from the beginning, even if they
support the latest-at-the-time version of Go to prevent accidental
version bumps on unsupported go versions.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/96414 for further discussion
around this change.
