Try running this as root:

  rpm -qa | xargs -n 1 -t rpm -V &> rpm-Va.txt
  less rpm-Va.txt
  
It is the output of a verification of all your installed packages.
The flags at the start of each line are explained in "man rpm" in
the section "VERIFY OPTIONS". 

See how many files are missing and how many are listed as not having
passed the MD5 checksum test, the '5' flag. Ignore some types of
files, such as Python compiled files, font indices or some config
files. 

Decide yourself whether it would be more convenient to simply
re-install a couple of damaged packages (with "rpm -ivh
packagename.rpm --force") or whether to install the entire
distribution from scratch after backing up your configuration.
