What makes you think "the list is ordered"?

Install the packages in one command ("transaction set"), like

	rpm -Uvh --root /some/new/rootDir `cat /tmp/rpmlist`

then -- if the package set is "closed", i.e. without unresolved
dependencies, rpm will calculate the installation order itself.

Yes, but that will be created automatically if /var/lib/rpm exists.
