Virtqemud wants to unlink /dev/urandom

Hi,

when I am creating virtual machine on system with new SELinux policy for
Libvirt, I am getting this error message:

Unable to complete install: 'Unable to create device /dev/urandom: File
exists'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 65, in
cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2001, in
_do_async_install
    installer.start_install(guest, meter=meter)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 701,
in start_install
    domain = self._create_guest(
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 649,
in _create_guest
    domain = self.conn.createXML(install_xml or final_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.10/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4393, in
createXML
    raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Unable to create device /dev/urandom: File exists

And SELinux denial, where SELinux prevents virtqemud to unlink character
device /dev/urandom:

Is this expected behavior?
