Installing these had the effect of replacing libfreebl3.so with a symbolic link to itself. Interestingly, login, yum, rpm, cpio, .... all break, since they cannot compute sha1 (and other?) hashes. I could only boot up in single user mode, as all other modes would not allow me to login. I recovered by downloading nss-softokn-3.13.1-20.fc17 packages from koji, expanding them (on a Mac :-( ), and then copying the appropriate files to /usr/lib64. Now that rpm was working again, I could 'rpm -Uvh --force' the -20 packages to update the rpm db, etc. I'm sure there is an easier way using a rescue CD.... tom -- Tom London -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
