In fact, fwupdate was deprecated in favor of fwupd (https://github.com/rhboot/fwupdate), which is available in Mageia. Maybe this package is not useful anymore?
Yeah it should be probably obsoleted. I considered it at some time but never bored enough to do it… We should probably/definitively obsolete it. Probably in task-obsolete…
