Cannot reproduce this on a fully updated M2 and Cauldron.
Both on step 3 I get a file not found error message. 

And when I do find / - iname mgaupdate on Cauldron I see this output : 

[root@localhost /]# find / -iname mgaupdate
/usr/sbin/mgaupdate

Sorry, bad assumption on my part.
I was assuming that the file was supposed to be there according to the FILES given for the rpm in mcc.

The problem is, automatic update notification quit working after remove/install of the rpm.

My workaround solution was to create a /etc/cron.daily script to run
    urpmi --downloader wget --auto --auto-update --test
since I assumed it was because /etc/cron.daily/mgaupdate did not exist after reinstall.

Reason I remove the rpm is, I have a bunch of clean install scripts, one of which removes mgaonline because during it's execution it would lock the rpm database and cause package install failures from the rest of my install scripts.

It's a ghost file.
It's normal it doesn't exist until filled in.
