  The report seems pretty inacurate, all the packages found there
are built on a Red Hat 6.2 box and are tested on Red Hat 7.0 too.

   Please report those problems to the distribution who shipped those,
it this were the packages from xmlsoft.org, well they do work on Red Hat
6.2 and 7.0, I made them and I use them !

  That's a pretty stupid thing to do, the RPMs 2.3.4 on xmlsoft.org
can be installed along libxml and libxml-devel.
  Anyway a lot of packages probably depended on libxml or libxml-devel
and if you forced the rpm -e chances are high that you screwed a number of
things

  Seems to me you nedd to learn about RPM and this absolutely not related
directly to libxml nor libxml2, the kannel package asks for the libxml2
package and it's not there since you installed from sources.

  You look really confused, and this is not related to libxml, but the fact
that you have troubles handling packages IMHO.
