I guess that depends on your definition of "quick".. it'll get the job done, certainly, but I would bet on it taking more than a little while.  Not that I have a better solution, just sayin.

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.
