Who know?
How the YaST know which packets are installed and which ones - not?
Is there some file with the installed packet names?
Yes there is, but which one depends on which suse version you have. In 8.2 and 9.0 (don't remember exactly when it started, it could be in 8.1 too) yast works with the rpm database, which is in /var/lib/rpm/
It's not plain text though, they're BerkeleyDB files
Thank you. May be, you know how to remove some packages from DB without real uninstalling?
sure, use rpm -e --justdb <packagename> For example "rpm -e --justdb apache" That will remove the package from the database without deleting any of the package contents from the hard drive
