OK. The "D" in ACID is hard ;-)

There are two functions in rpm that are useful:

1) rpm -qa --last
           This displays the installed packages sorted by installtime.

2) (rpm-4.4.3 and later) rpm -qa --blink
            This displays the name of the previously installed package 
(s) on upgrades.

The above does not log pure erasures, but those tend to be rare.  
Enabling repackaging
would save erasure info (as well as the contents that were erased).
