Podman build random number seed problem

[rasmusory]

Description

We have a setup, where we package Python programs into Windows executables using Wine and PyInstaller inside a container. This setup works great in Docker.
We are now moving away from Docker and over to using Podman, but this is giving us problems.
The exact same Dockerfile that works in Docker is failing when using Podman build.
It seems that Podman build is not seeding the random number generator properly.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. I have created a minimal Dockerfile, that shows the problem we are experiencing.

FROM docker.io/i386/alpine:edge
RUN apk add --no-cache wine xvfb

RUN wget -q https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.8/python-3.6.8.exe

ENV WINEDLLOVERRIDES="mscoree,mshtml="
ENV WINEDEBUG=-all
ENV DISPLAY=:1

RUN Xvfb :1 & \
    winecfg /v win10 && \
    wine --version && \
    wine python-3.6.8.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 && \
    wine python --version && \
    wine python -c 'import ssl; print("RAND_status():", ssl.RAND_status())' && \
    wine python -c 'import urllib.request; print("HTTPS request:", urllib.request.urlopen("https://google.com"))'

2. Run the command podman build .

Describe the results you received:
The last line in the Dockerfile results in the output below:
Notice that RAND_status() is 0 and the HTTPS request returns an 'ssl.SSLError: PRNG not seeded' error.

Impressive speed! Thanks.
