How do I get a list of all installed packages with the .rpm extension?

I am testing this on a Fedora 28.

You can use a query format, eliminating the sed and the temporary file.

rpm --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n" -qa

Example output:

python3-decorator-4.3.0-2.fc30.noarch.rpm
webkit2gtk3-2.24.2-1.fc30.x86_64.rpm
tuned-2.11.0-1.fc30.noarch.rpm
nftables-0.9.0-5.fc30.x86_64.rpm
perl-encoding-2.22-10.fc30.x86_64.rpm

First:

rpm -qa > INSTALLED_PACKAGES

I found that I can append .rpm as SUFFIX to each line in the INSTALLED_PACKAGES file

sed 's/$/.rpm/' INSTALLED_PACKAGES

this way I have the extension.

Result:

librados2-12.2.12-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm
dconf-0.28.0-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm
abrt-addon-ccpp-2.10.10-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm
