This missing file is located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libsoftokn3.so and a symlink solves this issue

[Philipp Dreimann (philipp-dreimann-deactivatedaccount)]

happens on x86 as well.

[kurapix (warren.levin)]

It is still present in the latest "Precise Pangolin (12.04)" distribution.

Why is the fix still not integrated?

The fix:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libsoftokn3.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoftokn3.so
