Hi,
AFAIK (I'm very far from being an expert), the logs are recorded in
the rpm DBs here: /var/lib/rpm
There is also a log DB here: /var/lib/rpm/log/ (I cannot read it using
the db tools)
After an update, the replaced packages can be shown with
rpm -q --blink package_name
For example:
rpm -q --blink samba-libs
samba-libs-4.3.12-0.1.x86_64.rpm
<= samba-libs-4.3.6-0.1.x86_64.rpm
It should be possible to write a script using it in conjunction with
rpm -q --last
or
urpmi.recover --list 'delay'
