Bug Description

Update 2:3.21-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 in Precise bumps the epoch of the package.

However, nss.pc contains:

Version: 2:3.21

This breaks detection of the version.

for example, NetworkManager's configure.ac has
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(NSS, [nss >= 3.11])

With this change, it results in a configure-failure:

checking for NSS... no
configure: error: Package requirements (nss >= 3.11) were not met:
Requested 'nss >= 3.11' but version of NSS is 2:3.21

For example Debian also has an epoch of #2, but nss.pc doesn't contain the epoch there:

$ grep Version /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/nss.pc
Version: 3.21

  * debian/rules: fix versioning since the last update incorrectly added
    an epoch. (LP: #1547147)
