Sort that list and you should have a list of all the packages installed on the system. Best is of course to run this command for *all* files on your system (except user files of course), but you could start by running it against all files in /bin, /etc, /lib, /sbin, /usr/X11R6, /usr/bin, /usr/lib and /usr/sbin. Since this are quite a few files you could speed up things by adding logic to mark files as done by issueing a rpm -ql on all found packages. But let's hope /var/log/rpmpkgs is still available ;-) .
