First: This is the issue tracker for RPM. Your problem does not qualify as a
ticket here. Questions like this should go to the rpm-list mailing list or the
#rpm.org IRC channel (http://rpm.org/community.html)
To your actual question: That depends a lot on what you actually mean. Many
things are possible but may be not for you. The rpmdb is not meant to be read
without rpm. It contains RPM headers which are binary in nature and while you
could read them with other code than rpm itself - and people have done that -
this is not encouraged.
You can get the names of the packages - and the names only - from the keys of
/var/lib/rpm/Name.
You may want to consider to create the list of package during build time of the
container as rpm should be available then - assuming you are building them
yourself.
