Instead what happens now is.... With urpmi.update if urpmi fails on the first try (it seems) it will give a message that it failed to update the media... with urpmi it suggests updating the urpmi database if it fails to connect to the online sources. This would be a VERY nice enhancement for including urpmi in any sort of script (as well as just day to day use).
