+I had this pb today when migrating one of my desktop machines from mageia 2 to 
+cauldron. I installed manually rpm from testing ( ftp://distrib-
+coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/2/i586/media/core/updates_testing/ 
+) and after all did well as wanted.
+
+so 
+
+1 install rpm from testing, 
+2- test  urpmi --auto-update ( should be fine ).
