Fedora4 possible rpm bug: listall.log disagrees w rpm -qa

After installing fedora 4, packages that I believe should have
been installed were missing.

I did new custom install.

It seems to me that the following two counts should agree:

# rpm -qa | wc -l
890
# wc -l install.log
1811 install.log
# 


I registered with:
  https://bugzilla.fedora.us/
and tried searching but found nothing.
Next, I tried to enter a bug but was unable.

I noticed that there was no version 4 for fedora
in bugzilla!
Is this an old url for bugzilla?


I discovered the listall.log vs rpm -qa discrepancy since
I expected emacs to have been installed but it wasn't

# grep emacs install.log
1077:emacs-21.4-5.i386.rpm
1078:emacs-common-21.4-5.i386.rpm
1079:emacs-el-21.4-5.i386.rpm
1080:emacs-leim-21.4-5.i386.rpm
1081:emacs-nox-21.4-5.i386.rpm
1082:emacspeak-21.0-2.i386.rpm
1211:gnuplot-emacs-4.0.0-7.i386.rpm
1254:iiimf-emacs-12.2-4.i386.rpm
# rpm -qa | grep emacs
<nothing>
