this should tell you where the packages installed on your machine came from.

I use 2 nice commands:

bin/rpm-q.dates (which sort rpms by installation time) :

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{installtime} %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%-10{arch} %{installtime:date}\n"|sort -n|sed -e 's/^[^ ]* //'

(less usefull now that /var/log/yum.log is available but easiest to read, for me at least)

Almost similar to:

rpm -qa --last
