Entropy error blocks lang/python38 installation



I've been trying to install lang/python38, critically important for further progress building and installing packages from pkgsrc

System is NetBSD-9.99.82 amd64.

Build goes through and most of the way through installation, but ends with a green console message

[ 386.3532035] entropy: pid 24617 (python) blocking due to lack of entropy

This time, I tried again (after Ctrl-C and "make install"), got the same message but with different numbers.

This is an awful strange message about failing to install a package.

End of build log file was

On other computer, system crashes and reboots (dirty, so I have to fsck_ffs after reboot) at about this point.

What does this entropy error message mean, and is there anything I can do except wait some months, update the system, and try again?

Inability to build python38 is a bone in the throat, so much depends on Python.  I am at an impasse on NetBSD.
