January 14 nss-softkn bug fix was missing a necessary dependency and breaks certmonger

edited Jan 23, 2015 9:01AM in Linux Operating System (MOSC)

RedHat released (and CentOS, Oracle Linux, and others passed on as built) a security update to nss-softokn in December that had a bug so it was

updated/repaired and again distributed by the channel on January 21. This January 21 bug fix update was missing a necessary dependency check to

nss-softokn-freebl. Without it certmonger is broken so any application process that needs to read/interpret certificates (via certmonger) could

not and would error out. This broke Free-IPA and yum itself.

to fix:

# cd /root

# yumdownloader nss-softokn-freebl

# rpm2cpio nss-softokn-freebl-3.14.3-19.el6_6.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv

# cp ./lib64/libfreeblpriv3.* /lib64

# yum update nss-softokn-freebl     ---->  (to register the update in the local RPM database, which verifies that the database is not broken)
