Hi Marcus and Alessandro,

these bugs ("java.security.ProviderException: Could not initialize NSS") 
and ("SSL connections fail: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoftokn3.so 
does not exist") sounds like #641305, which I reported yesterday against 
ca-certificates-java, and which Torsten fixed immediately.

Can you check if upgrading to ca-certificates-java 20110912 fixes them?


Damien, your statement "Given your libc6 version, you seems to be 
running Debian Squeeze (stable). Generally speaking, we don't provide 
support for mixed installation with experimental with stable packages : 
it won't work." is not generally true [1] - it should work.

Upgrading between Debian stable releases upgrades all software by
2 years, and there are in practice many cases where you cannot do
the upgrade in one run.

And with providing testing and backports Debian is pushing users into 
many more situations where they have a mixture of stable and unstable 
installed.

And if a Debian package runs a Java program in the postinst that is 
usually run in a mixed installation when upgrading from oldstable 
to stable.

[1] It is even less true in this case, where you are using this as an 
    excuse for not debugging a bug that is also present in a pure unstable.
