Description Stanislav Levin 2020-06-08 14:36:19 MSK 
Until 3.53.0-alt1 the NSS legacy db type(DBM) support was enabled by default.
The switching to upstream's build script resulted in 'NSS_DISABLE_DBM' was pulled to ON state while the previous one was OFF.

Several clients of NSS became broken. For example, FreeIPA, Certmonger, DogTag PKI. Generally, they should handle such a problem, but they don't for now.
Of course, the corresponding fixes are required.

I proposed to temporarily add '--enable-legacy-db'(NSS build.sh) to allow DBM db.
