fakeroot on RHEL/Fedora sometimes works and sometimes not. The
regressions are not immediately found, so I keep some old versions
around to check whether some issue is fakeroot's fault or something
else.
E.g. as you found that nvidia works with one version, but not another.
I have a similar approach with for example mythtv and ffmpeg, there is
always the previous version still available just in case.
