The /var/log/rpmpkgs file was created via a daily cron job.  In order
to drop the dependency on cron, it was split out of the base rpm
package into rpm-cron.

If you want to have /var/log/rpmpkgs, install rpm-cron.  If you just
want the current list of installed packages, use rpm -qa.  The exact
command that the cron job runs is:

/bin/rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' 2>&1 \
    | /bin/sort
