Bug Description

Release: 8.04
Version: 3.12.3.1-0ubuntu0.8.04.2

NSS_VersionCheck doesn't seem to work properly. Calling it with "3.12.3" should return true, but doesn't. I've attached a test program demonstrating this. This was found in relation to http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=33163 which means it'll start causing problems with newer versions of Chrome sooner or later....

libnspr4-0d was at version 4.7.1+1.9-0ubuntu0.8.04.5. Upgrading this to 4.7.5-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 fixed the issue. One thing to do here might be to run PR_VersionCheck as well when NSS_VersionCheck fails, and print out some sort of "check your nspr version is up to date" if PR_VersionCheck fails.

This bug was reported against an ancient version of nss, and it was reported fixed against nspr 4.7.5. We currently have 4.10.7 in all supported Ubuntu release. As such, I am closing this bug. If you can reproduce with a current version, please file a new bug.

Thanks!
