Make sure there is an RPM which provides libvixAllProducts.so.

I assume the only reason whatever iyou're trying to package runs despite 
the RPM dependency failure is because you've installed 
libvixAllProducts.so via some SDK which others won't have. Otherwise 
they'll hit the exact same error you short circuited with -nodeps, which 
generally is a bad idea.
