I think you got that backwards... nvidia's installer confuses the two.
nvidia's install delibrately overwrites file locations that mesa's gl is using.
File locations managed by the rpm database.  You use nvidia's
installer, and you are working against the distribution package
management system. Once you use nvidia's installer... how is rpm
suppose to know that xorg's mesa update is overwriting files nvidia
placed?
