[SOLVED] I broke steam while trying to update (incl. nss & lib32-nss)

Hi all,

I was too hasty to run pacman -Syu the other day and got exactly the issue described here: https://www.archlinux.org/news/nss3511- … ervention/

Unfortunately, I saw this post only today when my system is already broken. The main issue is that steam is looking for:

:ERROR:nss_util.cc(283)] After loading Root Certs, loaded==false: libnssckbi.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Initially I thought this was because steam was looking at /usr/lib32 instead of /usr/lib where that library should exist for 64 bits. However, when I go to /usr/lib I see that there is a broken link:

libnssckbi.so -> p11-kit-trust.so -> pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so

Unfortunately, pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so  does not exist in my system.

Now, when I repeat the same procedure inside /usr/lib32, the links are the same, except that pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so does indeed exist and it is 32 bits.

Anyone knows how to get /usr/lib/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so ?

On an added note: is there a way to subscribe to some mailing list where I can get these notifications about manual intervention before before I screw things up again ?

Thanks !

What did you do when pacman refused the upgrade due to the existing files?

Please do not kick me out of the forum after I tell you

Well, originally, p11-kit-trust.so was a link to libnssckbi.so, so when pacman complained that p11-kit-trust.so existed I said to myself, what the heck, let me remove that link and update ...

You should update your thread title to reflect the fact that the upgrade was not responsible for the breakage, you were.

Ops sorry.

pacman -Qkk libp11-kit
warning: libp11-kit: /usr/lib/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so (No such file or directory)
libp11-kit: 240 total files, 1 altered file

Edit: reinstalling libp11-kit makes the missing shared object appear ! thanks ! Steam still not working (different error) but at least this one is solved.

Reinstalling ca-certificates-utils solved the remaining issues. Steam is back again. Thank you all !
