Expected; external packagemangement is used by default which holds rpm
database outside of the vserver. When you *really* need it, 'vserver
... pkgmgmt internalize' should copy it into the vserver so that 'rpm
-q' works there. But for most vserver types, the external management
should suffice.

These files were created by your 'rpm -q' operation which initializes
the rpm database.
