If you saying that somepackage.file is an RPM file, that should
perfectly work. Try removing the ./, and just use the file name.

If you are saying that somepackage.file is a list o files, "smart
install < somepackage.file" or "smart install $(cat somepackage.file)"
should work.

Good question... Never tried more than 50. :)
