Yes ... unfortunately you need up2date :o)
There are a couple of third-party tools, but one easy way to do this
is actually to boot from the CD and do an "upgrade" install ... select
the up2date package and nothing else, then when Anaconda complains
about the missing dependencies tell it to include packages to satisfy
them.
It's simpler than it sounds ...

Are you sure you're trying just the "up2date" package and not the
"up2date-gnome" package too? The plain up2date package shouldn't
be requiring the gnome libraries as far as I can see.
If you're on a reasonable connection, try
rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i386/up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2.i386.rpm
(copy and paste that, it should all be on line) and see what happens?
