  If you upgrade to libxml2-2.5.8-1 the dependancy for libxml2-python-2.5.4
which is that libxml2-2.5.4 is installed is not satisfied anymore. Hence
rpm refuses to run the transaction because this would result in a state
where all rules are not satisfied.

  Hum, the point is that you don't have to install libxml2-python. So
this is needed only if libxml2-python is installed and you want to upgrade
one of the other packages,
