Bill,

Getting back to 
>> (i.e., libfreebl3.so instead of libfreebl.so.3)?

No danger of the name class I alluded for nss but we still want to preserve the 
names so as not to break other dependent packages. I wonder if aliases may help 
in any way. If we were to add, via the spec file, libfreebl.so.3 as an alias to 
libfreebl3.so (and similarly with libnssdmb3.so and linsoftoken3.so), would 
that help?

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)?
