rpm -qa by itself should list all the packages rpm thinks is installed;
if your database is as broken as you think it is this might be a short
list.
Another idea on fixing your database; you could try using
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_dump instead of db_dump, etc. as I am guessing these
may be the db4 utilities corresponding to the db4 version rpm uses.
