It does not appear so.  Like a great deal of Mandrake's in-house
development, it seems to be under documented.

The version of MandrakeUpdate that shipped with 7.1 seems to be broken, in
that installed updates (and releases older than that which is installed) are
not removed from the list of available updates.  I would recommend upgrading
to a newer version.
