Hmm, and the mystery deepens... It looks like the source of the issue is the
"warning: libsoftokn3.so.11, needed by /usr/lib64/nss/libnss3.so.11, not
found" message - libsoftokn3.so has the ModuleDBFunc symbol in it, and it is
owned by the nss package, so I'm not sure what is going on there. What does
a "ls /usr/lib/nss/libsoft*" return?
