pollinate update
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 15.04
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
The system would not have expected entropy available.
Software Description:
- pollinate: seed the pseudo random number generator in virtual machines
Details:
USN-2709-1 updated pollinate's certificate for entropy.ubuntu.com but did
not include a new certificate authority certificate.
This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
The pollinate package bundles the certificate for entropy.ubuntu.com. This
update refreshes the certificate to match the new certificate for the
server.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 15.04:

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
