Hmm. Doesn't this just download the package, give you a list if its
contents, and then delete the package?
If it was likely you'd want to install this package after checking that
it contained what you wanted, I'd have thought it would be better to
download it first and run the rpm query against the local file so it
would stick around. Particularly for a large package that would take a
while to download.
