Bill, Jakub,
Due to a capitalization typo in the nss-softokn spec an update to nss-softokn got pushed ahead of a prelink 0.4.3 upadte that it needed. This has caused serious problems to numerous users. We do have a corrected nss-softokn upadate on the bodhi updates testing queue https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/nss-softokn-3.12.4-19.fc12
It requires prelink >= 0.4.3 to install. Prelink was been pushed to updates-testing at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/prelink-0.4.3-2.fc12.
It has been been in the queue for several days. The F-13 version already went to stable. Furthermore, users have reported positive test results with the prelink update together with the nss-softokn update. Unfortunately, the positive comments and karma are in other pages.
If prelink doesn't get pushed to stable soon we will be forced to back out the needed changes to nss-softokn which will prolong headaches to our users, including many upstream kernel developers.
Please push prelink 0.4.3 for F-12 to stable.
Thank you,
Elio

In the future, I would suggest you bundle them into a single update to avoid this situation.

It got submitted for stable yesterday. While there was no push yesterday, that wouldn't have mattered because if there had been this still would have missed it.
Please push prelink 0.4.3 for F-12 to stable.
Push started. It'll complete sometime later today.
