RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description afox@redhat.com 2017-06-16 11:40:30 UTC
Description of problem:
It's possible to install nss in both 32 and 64-bit versions, but no dependency exists to ensure matching architecture of p11-kit is also installed. 

# rpm -q nss p11-kit-trust
nss-3.21.3-2.el6_8.x86_64
nss-3.21.3-2.el6_8.i686
p11-kit-trust-0.18.5-2.el6_5.2.x86_64
# update-ca-trust enable
update-ca-trust: nss 32 bit is installed. You should install p11-kit-trust 32 bit.
update-ca-trust: aborting, because the nss / p11-kit setup is inconsistent.

ca-certificates package depends on p11-kit-trust, but any of the two builds (32 or 64bit) satisfies the dependency.

Customer expects appropriate dependencies between packages so that it's not possible to end up with an inconsistent set of packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nss-3.21.3-2.el6

How reproducible:
Always.

Actual results:
Possible to have 32-bit version of nss without matching version of p11-kit. 

Expected results:
Installation of 32-bit nss should result in install of required 32-bit p11-kit.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 transitioned to the Production 3 Phase on May 10, 2017.  During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.
 
The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:
