Partially I think you've run into a problem I did on another box I had... 7.1 is no longer actively supported by Mandrake, and some of it's tools are out of date for sure. With my newer boxes I've actually got urpmi running on a cron job that daily checks for "updates" and grabs them. My 7.2 box that I just had decommissioned (hardware) had 321 days uptime it's last run. (Last reboot was due to a physical move. Should have moved it connected to it's UPS *grin*) Normally with 8.x forward urpmi and other such tools are working now to a level that does allow for a better remote experience.
