Re: FC13 nss-softokn-freebl update issues

I don't know when the 3 suffix was added. It may have been due to versioning at some time but if I recall correctly we keep the 3 suffix to avoid a name class with with the other nss package (name switch service I believe). Bob or Kai can set me straight on this matter. 

Another thing that puzzles me if that this is a problem on F-13 but not on F-12. See comments in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596840

It's due to the fact that nss-softokn-freebl (actually, *all* the nss/nspr
libraires) do not fit the normal library naming, so it's not explicitly pulled for
multilib. For any update or release set that's composed with a package that explicitly
requires a compat arch of nss-softokn-freebl (such as glibc, libpurple,
pam_pkcs11, etc.), it will get pulled in via dependency resolution. F-13
updates has none of these, so it doesn't.

We could add some hacks to mash to get it pulled in, but I must ask...
why do all the NSS/NSPR libraries version their libraries in the library
name instead of the so version (i.e., libfreebl3.so instead of
libfreebl.so.3)?
