Description zwerver1 2011-08-22 12:39:40 UTC

after emerging firefox6 it won't start. It says /usr/lib64/firefox/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.10' not found. I re-emerged nss and firefox6 but still got the same error. After renaming libnss3.so to libnss3.so.bck and creating a symbolic link to /usr/lib64/libnss3.so firefox6 starts. I have the ~amd64 accept keyword in /etc/make.conf.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update gentoo fully to world with ~amd keyword
2. emerge firefox6
3. try to start in a terminal
Actual Results:  
firefox6 won't start, it complains about /usr/lib64/firefox/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.10'

Expected Results:  
firefox6 starting

I've only had this problem on 1 machine. Don't have another to try it.

There is no such thing as /usr/lib64/firefox/libnss3.so on a fresh install of www-client/firefox-6.0. /usr/lib64/libnss3.so is provided by dev-libs/nss.

Just drop the orphan file (now a symlink if I understand well what you have done /usr/lib64/firefox/libnss3.so). FF should start just file.

after removal of the symlink I can confirm that firefox6 just starts.
