Staying with Yong's suggestion, here's a quick way to script it: rpm -qa | while read line; do echo $line && rpm -ql $line | while read line2; do ls -lu $line2; done ; done > rpm_access.txt Not perfect, but you'd get all the files listed in a txt file quickly this way.

I can't think of a better way. But if you have not turned off inode access time update, you can check the files' last access time with ls -lu <file name>. And the file names are given by rpm -ql <rpm name>. You can also use find command option -atime instead of ls -lu. If the time is recent, you know the rpm the file is in is still used.
