Looks vaguely like you've got both i386 and amd64 versions of libnss3 installed and only tried to upgrade the amd64 version for a security update...

I simply renamed the offending debian.gz file to debian.gzx via root
actions in Dolphin and then fixed broken packages in synaptic.

I duped a few more bugs onto this one - the reason usually really is only updating one of the two architectures wich then have colliding content
.
I wonder thou why this sort of issue should pile up especially on libnss3?

Is there any dependency or install guide out there which makes this particularly prone to have 32/64 bit installed at the same time?
