RPM database recovery via list of rpm files

[Toralf Lund <toralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I mentioned earlier, I managed to break the rpm database on my FC3 
box quite badly a while back (may have been a result of temporary disk 
failure due to system overheat.) Fortunately, it turns out that I have a 
fairly accurate list of packages that are supposed to be installed, in 
the form of rpm file names - thanks to /var/log/rpmpkgs and its backups. 
So how do I recover the database based on this list? I guess I want to 
get hold of each file listed and to rpm -i --justdb on it, but is there 
some magic yum command or similar that might automate the process? (The 
rpms are taken from various different repos, so it's not just a question 
of a simple ftp mget + rpm install.)
