Get a complete set of rpm packages (possibly from updates-testing for f11) , together with _all_ dependencies, and use rpm2cpio to pipe cpio content to 'cpio -imd' to unpack all of this below some scratch directory. Copy resulting files, keeping all directory structure, to expected places and you should be back in business to straighten all this mess. That includes bringing back yours rpm database which after first steps will be out of sync. If rpm2cpio gives you dependency grief you may do the above on another machine and copy results. Last but not least it is not that difficult to unpack rpm packages using only shell plus some standard programs. Shell scripts to do just that should be possible to find if you will look around.
