I have the same: nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.i386 Vendor: CentOS

The error I got when I ran 'yum update' was:
Error: Missing Dependency: nss = 3.12.2.0-2-el5.centos is needed by package
nss-devel
Maybe all the packages (nss) weren't available on the mirror at the time I
ran the update. I see where nss-devel is 'set to be updated' but I don't
see nss in the list.
Thanks
