[opensuse] mozilla-nss-certs on a 64-bit system with a 32-bit Firefox...
Hi there, I've recently installed the packages from the mozilla repository; this resulted in a new package "mozilla-nss-certs" which I guess deals with checking certificates. Due to my - potentially - strange setup (I use a 32-bit Firefox on a 64-bit openSUSE-11.1 system), this resulted in Firefox not being able to access any https://... site anymore. Trying to replace the 64-bit version of mozilla-nss-certs with its 32-bit version will probably make Firefox work again, but I'm afraid, it will kill all the rest of the 64-bit applications which need the nss/ssl functionality. Unfortunately I cannot install the 32-bit version in parallel either: # rpm -ivh mozilla-nss-certs-3.12.4-4.1.i586.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package mozilla-nss-certs-3.12.4-4.1.i586 is already installed Extracting it manually using # rpm2cpio mozilla-nss-certs-3.12.4-4.1.i586.rpm | { cd /; cpio -idvm; } results in a fully functional Firefox again. So, what is needed AFAICS is a mozilla-nss-certs-32bit package, which, for what is worth, is already provided for the base package: mozilla-nss-32bit. Wolfgang, can you please create such a mozilla-nss-certs-32bit package? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
