Try some these:
rpm -q bar # is bar installed?
rpm -q -i bar # package description
rpm -q -l -s bar # list files and status
rpm -q -a | grep -i bar # search all packages for bar
rpm -i -vv bar # install, very verbose
rpm -e -vv bar # erase, very verbose
rpm -q --whatrequires bar # maybe bar has deps?
rpm -q --whatprovides bar # maybe bar is virtual?
