a fun and bizarre problem with building an rpm

After building an rpm and tossing it into the local repo at work, an attempt to install it was made. Then the following awesome line reared its head. 

Running rpm_check_debug
python: rpmte.c:589: rpmteColorDS: Assertion `ix < Count' failed.
zsh: abort      sudo yum install splunk
this of course makes absolutely no sense. one could reference this picture in fact .
I found the solution is adding the tag 
 AutoReqProv: no
fixed it.
