Not really. Yast package manager lists all packages, including installed ones.
Sorting by install status gets me list of all installed packages.

Taking a long time to list anything is also not a problem. The problem is that
changing any status of any of the item results in things stalling. So the
interface is not interactive.

That's a poor workaround. Another would be to just re-install the system?

Somehow this works just fine in Aptitude on Debian with even more packages than
Leap. But it doesn't work with Yast2 Qt GUI *or* console text UI.
