Antonio,

Yes, you should upgrade your up2date at least, you may even wish to upgrade
your entire system to 7.2 at least.

I have 7.2 and 7.3 running on a few machines and I have not had any problems
upgrading any RPM with 'up2date'.

FYI: here's my version of up2date,

# up2date --version
Red Hat Update Agent v2.8.39

Thanks,
