Bug 80739

This is a packaging or redhat-rpm-config configuartion,
not rpmbuild, problem.

I'd suggest talking to NVidia about their packaging.

Some new information:

apparently this _is_ an rpmbuild problem and it's due to the way debug symbols
are packaged now, as opposed to in previous versions of rpm and rpmbuild. 
adding the flag:
    --define "debug_package %{nil}"
to the rpmbuild command apparently allows the package to build successfully.
nothing like trying to hit a moving target for a third-party package builder.

thankfully.
  shouldn't this bug be re-opened until nvidia patches their installer?  since
it's redhat that changed things and caused this to break, it seems the least
redhat can do is keep a bug entry open for it until the situation is resolved.

i have sent an email to info which may or may not be heeded.  aren't
there official channels open between nvidia and redhat whereby a redhat employee
could report this situation to nvidia and get it dealt with?  hopefully so.
