Public bug reported:
On startup evolution tries to merge system NSS database (/etc/pki/nssdb) and
user NSS database (~/.pki/nssdb), but this fails with following message:
(evolution:8009): camel-WARNING **: Failed to initialize NSS SQL database in
sql:/etc/pki/nssdb: NSS error -8126
Š¢herefore initialization of NSS fails and certificates on registered smart
cards are unavailable in Evolution. This makes signing e-mail with certificate
on smart card impossible.
It seems that root of the problem is the line "library=libnsssysinit.so"
in /etc/pki/nssdb/pkcs11.txt. If libnsssysinit.so is removed from this
line, system database can be correctly initialized and certificates from
smart cards are available. Google-chrome successfully loads NSS
database, so it seems that this is specific to evolution problem, and
not NSS bug.
