No idea why the nss packagers seem to cause this sort of problem so
regularly. Thankfully, it's not some core security package where such
a lack of attention to detail would be problematic. :/
The packaging is fragile, not only due to SONAME changes. As I've pointed
out in a private reply in a conversation about the nss* broken deps, it is
something that would deserve spec file enhancements to prevent future breakage.
Recently, even the nss.pc pkgconfig file's automatic Provides disappeared
unexpectedly(?) because of some %global definitions in the spec file for
specific minimum versions of build requirements.

On my F13, I have
nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.7-3.fc13.i686
nss_ldap-264-10.fc13.i686
nss-3.12.7-4.fc13.i686
nss_db-2.2.3-0.3.pre1.fc13.i686
nss-softokn-devel-3.12.7-3.fc13.i686
nss-mdns-0.10-8.fc12.i686
nss_compat_ossl-0.9.6-1.fc13.i686
nss-util-3.12.7-2.fc13.i686
nss-sysinit-3.12.7-4.fc13.i686
nss-softokn-3.12.7-3.fc13.i686
nss-tools-3.12.7-4.fc13.i686


and

yum check

does not flag any missing dependenceies .
