This was happening before.
nvidia-cuda-proxy-control is a new file, which appeared
in the 300 series. Since it is unversioned, and the previous package
is not being removed, the conflict appears.

We can either supply it in a separate package, or just
filter it as we did with libnvcuvid.so

In the next package, I will deal with this issue. For now,
just use "sudo rpm -Uvh --force ...."
