If the attachment of one brake block failed, I'd be very suspicious of the rest of them. It might be a good idea to replace ALL the rivets with screws, one at a time so you don't lose the alignment of the brake blocks with the shoes. Brass screws won't score the drums, if the linings wear down that far.
