You have a better error report now in urpmi, look at man page, there are 4 or 5 exit code just for installation failure report (missing files and/or failed transaction). You may use these error code to exit correctly from your script. You may try the following option too --keep which avoid updating in order not to remove existing package (only upgrade are allowed, this avoid using --no-uninstall). Another method is to use urpmi --auto-select directly as there is now an integrated split mechanism to avoid such a loop you use, furthermore the split is done in a way the package are installed in right order to minimize transaction size (which is not the case when using an urpmq --auto-select output).
