Comment 1 Herman Viaene 2019-12-05 16:22:21 CET 
MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues
Ref to bug 24179 Comment 1 fr tests:
Restarted firefox after the update: works OK
At CLI:
$ bltest -F
CK_RV: 48.
but
$ certdb_gtest 
returns nothing
$ certdb_gtest -h
This program contains tests written using Google Test. You can use the
following command line flags to control its behavior:

Test Selection:
  --gtest_list_tests
      List the names of all tests instead of running them. The name of
      TEST(Foo, Bar) is "Foo.Bar".
and a lot more, so tried
$ certdb_gtest --gtest_list_tests
but that returns nothing either, as does
$ certdb_gtest --gtest_also_run_disabled_tests
and
$ dbtest 
dbdir selected is /home/tester7/.netscape

ERROR: Directory "/home/tester7/.netscape" does not exist.
of course not, something netsape has never been near ???
