"/bin/su" is in red because it is "setuid executable".  See that
's' in '-rws...'?

It appears to be fixed, whatever that may mean.

That should be 

    rpm -qa "coreutils*"

or, if you are running from a directory with 'coreutils<something>'
in it then shell will expand it and you are asking not what you
think you are asking.

That is absolutely correct.  Such package is not installed.
You have installed 'coreutils' or, if you want to be very
specific, 'coreutils-6.10-18.fc9.i386'.  You also did not
install a package with a 'coreutils*' name although

    rpm -Va 'coreutils*'
or
    rpm -Va "coreutils*"

would work albeit slower (it has more work to do).
