Hi,
I am working with GE Capital International Services, while I was trying to generate the key
with gpg --gen-key command it is showing me following error.

Please select what kind of key you want:

(2) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)

Though it does not stop here after completing all the features upto Passphrase it just finishes with
error as mentioned.
gpg: fatal: can't connect to `/var/spool/prngd/pool': Connection refused
secmem usage: 2272/2272 bytes in 7/7 blocks of pool 2272/32768

Please guide me how to resolve this issue.
