Description paul boin 2008-07-25 14:32:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

New Firefox 3.0.1 package, which is much appreciated, has bad dependencies.

$ firefox
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.1/firefox-bin: /usr/lib64/libnss3.so: version
`NSS_3.11.7' not found (required by /usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.1/libxul.so)
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.1/firefox-bin: /usr/lib64/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12'
not found (required by /usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.1/libxul.so


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

sh-3.00# rpm -q firefox
firefox-3.0.1-1.el

howie:~ $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libnss3.so
nss-3.11.99.5-3.el4

How reproducible:

Should exist in any currently patched RHEL 4.7.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try to run firefox.
2.  Get NSS version-not-found.
3.  Profit!
Comment 1 paul boin 2008-07-25 14:38:29 UTC 
This appears to have come in yesterday on RHBA-2008:0704.
Comment 2 paul boin 2008-07-25 14:48:36 UTC 
Strike that.  RHBA-2008:0704 is *not* the one, RHBA-2008:0664 is.
Comment 3 paul boin 2008-07-25 14:52:18 UTC 
RHBA-2008:0783 has just been released this very moment.  It does not fix this
problem.
Comment 4 paul boin 2008-07-25 15:22:56 UTC 
These commands appear to offer a fix, without new RH packages:

    rpm -e --nodeps nss.i386 nss.x86_64 firefox
    up2date -i nss firefox
Comment 5 paul boin 2008-07-25 18:32:22 UTC 
Crap.  Looks like one of our guys had been re-compiling NSS so that 
SmartCard/CAC would be back-fitted to RHEL4.

Almost certainly our fault.

Please change to 'NOTABUG'.
