My belief is that up2date is gone. I don't have CentOS5 up at the
moment, but at work our local repositories for RHEL5 use yum, whereas
the earlier releases used up2date.
Even if you do find a usable up2date, you'd better get cracking with
converting your scripts to use yum, since that's the wave of the
future.
