Yes, it only reports 'changed files'. Also for example the rpm database
files have changed - if you think about it, that's not surprising. Similar
judgement needs to be applied to all the other packages installed. Mind
you, if you've installed non-rpm based packages then lots of luck, these
won't be checked and finding them is also difficult - if rpm -qf
<filename> reports no package then it's *probably* not from an RPM based
package.
