Also happened to me in asimilar manner, default dualarch mageia 1 install,
upgraded to urpmi via cauldron. Sometime in the process i've noticed
that the error was about curl, but the command was:
urpmi --auto-update --auto --wget
And after installing wget it went through in one run.
Before it only updated like 20-30 packages, failed. Rinse and repeat.
