You might use rpm to list the database in the previous version
tree, then use rpm to list the database in the current version tree,
sort the outputs, and then compare.

For instance on a test system the package abyssinica-fonts was manually
removed after olpc-update to os111, yet the previous build rpm database
is still available:

# rpm -q abyssinica-fonts
package abyssinica-fonts is not installed
# readlink /versions/running
pristine/fe25e45429bcc3714552316f97e0acad
# find /versions/run -name Packages
/versions/run/fe25e45429bcc3714552316f97e0acad/var/lib/rpm/Packages
/versions/run/0ab47a1d38c3ce22e58a488f6850ac41/var/lib/rpm/Packages
# rpm --root=/versions/pristine/0ab47a1d38c3ce22e58a488f6850ac41 -q abyssinica-fonts
abyssinica-fonts-1.0-4.fc11.noarch

So it is possible to generate a package list diff:

# rpm --root=/versions/run/0ab47a1d38c3ce22e58a488f6850ac41 -qa | sort > /tmp/a
# rpm -qa|sort > /tmp/b
# diff /tmp/a /tmp/b

[...]

Based on this you might learn what you have just lost by using
olpc-update.
