 QUERY OPTIONS
       The general form of an rpm query command is
                                                                                
       rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]

 PACKAGE SELECTION OPTIONS:
       PACKAGE_NAME
              Query installed package named PACKAGE_NAME.
 
       -a, --all
              Query all installed packages.

To query a package (RPM file):

   select-options
        [PACKAGE_NAME] [-a,--all] [-f,--file FILE]
        [-g,--group GROUP] {-p,--package PACKAGE_FILE]

So ... you need "rpm -qp" not "rpm -qa"
