Does this file contain just a list of the packages
installed?  You can get this information from rpm
directly by 'rpm -qa'.  If you look in your cron
directory, /etc/cron.daily, you may find a script that
regenerates this file every night.  Mine looks like
this:

#!/bin/sh

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

The filenames are different, but its probably the same
file.
