Public bug reported:
If the ld cache configuration is wrong, the correct shared objects
contained in the package are never found or wrong versions being picked
up.
Example:
libnss3 is defined by a quite a few packages including Thunderbird, libnss3 and
Firefox.
Depending on the particular linker cache config, the wrong version may be
picked up.
Mitigation: enhance /usr/bin/firefox to explicitely include the correct
path of its shared objects in the loader path (cf. attached patch).
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
