1579036 - Confusing error when trying to export non-existent cert with pk12util

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Tools, defect, P3)

Description

[Ivan Nikolchev]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

mkdir testdir
certutil -N --empty-password -d sql:./testdir
pk12util -o p12file2 -n testca -d sql:./testdir -W ''

Actual results:

pk12util: find user certs from nickname failed: PR_LOAD_LIBRARY_ERROR: Failure to load dynamic library

Expected results:

I think first part of error is fine, but the library load error is kinda confusing. It had us looking for library loading issues when this was not the problem.
