Random seed for symetric encryption

[Nikolaus Rath]

Hello!

I'm using gpg to symetrically encrypt a lot of files. Unfortunately,
gpg regularly complains about an empty random seed while processing.

Now I wonder why gpg needs random data for symetric encryption. Should
I care about the message or not? And how can I make it disappear?

Thanks,

   --Nikolaus
