Have you had a look at "rpm -qa --last" yet? What does it tell?
You can redirect the output to a file or a pipe, such as

  rpm -qa --last > output.txt
  rpm -qa --last|less

and show it.

directfb has been retired after Fedora 19:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/directfb.git/plain/dead.package

pdftk has been retired after Fedora 19, too:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/pdftk.git/plain/dead.package

It seems you haven't cleaned up your installation for a very long time.
There have been tools to do that. Even "yum list extras" has been popular.
"dnf list extras" also exists.
