>Description:
Just updated my locally-installed packages.  It appears that updating
nss to 3.28 results in the following error message when accessing google
or wikipedia (and likely other sites):

	Your connection is not secure

	The website tried to negotiate an inadequate level of security.

	gmail.com uses security technology that is outdated and vulnerable
	to attack. An attacker could easily reveal information which you
	thought to be safe. The website administrator will need to fix the
	server first before you can visit the site.

	Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY


I don't know enough about nss or firefox (or anything else) to file a
meaningful error report upstream; perhaps someone more knowledgeable
than I could do that?

In the meantime, nss3.28 might not be the right version to leave as
current in pkgsrc.
