As such it is not possible to retrieve the complete spec. The actions
can be viewed however with the -- script option to rpm, eg:
rpm -q --scripts binutils

I do not see how one can see what patches are installed.

The problem the OP has comes from the fact that the rpm is not signed,
so it must be installed with the --nogpgcheck option to yum. Without the
option IIRC yum complains about the missing signature and does not
install the package.
