+Yeah, library provides are excluded on purpose in the proprietary driver
+packages, to avoid any "unrelated" packages to depend on them.
+
+Not sure if libcuda.so.1 should be an exception or not, it is again
+quite a special case...
+
+In any case, nvidia-cuda-toolkit already contains:
+%define _requires_exceptions libcuda.so.1\\|python(abi)
+
+My first guess would be that it doesn't work since it is in the middle
+of the package definition, and it should be either moved to the
+beginning of the .spec file or made %global. Alternatively something has
+been broken in rpm-mageia-setup-build.
