Yes that's normal warning, since 2.8.3 you don't need to set
CPACK_SET_DESTDIR to ON for either RPM or DEB
the generator should handle that just fine without.

RPM is even trying to make the package relocatable
(installable with a configurable prefix) but it cannot do it
with CPACK_SET_DESTDIR to ON.

Yes don't set it.

Try running cpack with the following command line

cpack --verbose --debug -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM

and send me the output + rpmbuild.out and rpmbuild.err files
(you'll see where to find those in the trace).
