Read -devel list, it's discussed in detail there. Broadly, it boils down to being a packaging error. nss is not explicitly multilib, the ix86 nss only gets pulled into the x86-64 repo via dependencies. Since nothing in x86-64 updates repo currently requires nss, the updated ix86 nss didn't get pulled into the x86-64 updates repo, yet. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
