The mirrors are missing the headers folders which prevents up2date from working.

Use yum. Apt4rpm, Up2date used to work back in the day but that is long ago..
Learning curve issues.

No, as it seemd that up2date support was pulled by the previous reply.

Read the following long post on yum vs up2date http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-September/027265.html Don't quote me on this but I believe the reason apt4rpm was pulled from upstream was it had multilib issues.
Filing a bug is by all means "welcome" but will that mean the bastardized version of up2date that CentOS uses (Johhny's words) have the functionality of yum and its plugins?
Perhaps we could have a little fun with a 2008 version of yum vs Up2date vs Apt? Ha Ha Ha...
Thanks, Josh.

Upstream never had apt4rpm in the enterprise product.

No. But it will work as before, when the headers/ directory is there.

As said: apt4rpm works on the same metadata yum does, up2date doesn't and is just there for "convenience mode". And as up2date still is in CentOS 4, it "should work". For limited values of "work", but ...

Fedora > RHEL > CentOS
CentOS 4 is based on Fedora Core 3 which at the time used apt4rpm. Why didn't it make its way to RHEL 4, while yum made its way to RHEL 5?
As the OP mentioned "learning curve issues", he may be used to up2date and he can look at the following from upstream.

Thanks, Josh.

Because FC3 used yum?

There still is the fact that we are *SHIPPING* up2date and it *DOES NOT* work at the moment. This has nothing to do with equivalents in yum or FC3 having apt4rpm or whatnot.

BTW: In the meantime the headers have reappeared in 4.7:
[root@centos 4.7]# ls -1 os/i386/headers/|wc -l 1591

From a quick look at http://bugs.centos.org I note neither
you nor the OP has filed a bug. Isn't the lack of headers similar to bug 3018 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3018
Therefore would there be any need to file a bug if its already been filed before? I would agree with Johnny's Hughes statement "You would be much better off using yum for updates on CentOS-4."
Thanks, Josh.
