I was trying to tell you that the method you used to determine that
the failing metadata request was the result of a library loading
problem was flawed.

Ask RedHat, they decided to link everything against libnss instead of
libssl beginning with RHEL6 (which was not the case with RHEL4).
And Debian was smart enough from the beginning to split many packages
up so that you could chose which e.g. libcurl you could install
(linked against openssl or gnutls).

But all that may have nothing to do with your problem (failing access
to the metadata generator). Since I never encountered that problem
myself I'd look into log files, eventually turing up the log level,
etc.
