Oh, so you want the package file size for installed packages, wasn't
quite clear...
That information is not stored in rpmdb. But assuming all the packages are
in a repository you can use this to get the package sizes of currently
installed packages:
repoquery --qf "%{name} %{packagesize}" `rpm -qa`
