yum update c&p

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2011-12-26 17:20:27 UTC
libcurl does not work with nss-3.13, see bug 760060, pushing nss-3.13 to stable Fedora without having this major issue fixed was a big mistake.  I would suggest to downgrade to nss-3.12 until a proper fix is available.

Comment 3 Frank Murphy 2011-12-26 17:47:36 UTC
Will downgrade + cc'd on #760060

Will check if the new curl in F17 changes things tomorrow.

Comment 4 Kamil Dudka 2011-12-26 18:04:03 UTC
As of yet, there is no fix in curl.  I tried curl from RHEL-6, F-15, F-16, and rawhide.  All of them were broken when running on top of nss-3.13, but I have not had enough time to look further what exactly changed in nss.

Comment 5 Elio Maldonado Batiz 2011-12-27 00:37:06 UTC
A big change in nss 3.13 is that the default value of SSL_ENABLE_SSL2 changed to FALSE. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593080
Could that have any bearing on this slowdown?

Comment 6 Kamil Dudka 2011-12-27 13:50:31 UTC
Frank, please try this prior to running yum update:

export NSS_SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV=0

Does it make any difference?

Comment 7 Frank Murphy 2011-12-27 14:03:02 UTC
Will test in morning on after bootup.

It appears to work,
have been able to:
sealert > bugzilla successfully.
No (28,0) on yum update
No snacks required for logging into gmail.

Appreciate the extra mile.
