Hi all,

I just installed FC5T2 x86_64 to test it out.  Install went smoothly
and I just finished up all the updates.   I seem to be having an issue
with the NSS update:
# grep -i nss /var/log/yum.log
Jan 28 00:06:03 Updated: nss.x86_64 3.11-3
Jan 28 00:07:25 Updated: nss.i386 3.11-3
Jan 28 00:20:14 Updated: nss_ldap.i386 248-1
Jan 28 00:20:18 Updated: nss_ldap.x86_64 248-1

I have seen two symptoms of some problem thus far in Firefox and
Evolution.  Firefox starts with a warning that it could not initialize
the security component (something to that effect) and gives some
statement that it could be a file permissions problem in the profile
directory.  Perms look to be okay in ~/.mozilla/firefox/ and I get no
SELinux or other messages.  Evolution flat refuses to run.  The
problem is more apparent from the command line:
$ evolution
(evolution:3437): evolution-smime-WARNING **: Failed all methods for
initializing NSS
(evolution:3437): camel-WARNING **: Failed to initialize NSS

Any ideas?  Time for a bugzilla entry? (probably after I sleep some...)

Jonathan

PS: I am thus far quite impressed by the new look, feel, and features
of FC5.  Keep up the good work!
