Instead of your command what tells you

(it should say coreutils) Sorry had to reread your mail, what is in /var/lib/rpm now after you rebuilt the database? I would guess it contains nothing useful.
After the rebuild /var/lib/rpm just contained the "Packages" file. I then ran "zypper up", which re-created the other files normally found in /var/lib/rpm and installed some "core" packages, such as bash and a few others. The content of these is of course already on the system, thus nothing really changed other than that the database started to get re-populated. Therefore an 'rpm -qa' now provides a very short list of packages.
