  yes Red Hat and Mandrake are different to some extent.
I don't understand your "progress dialog and confirmation" question, this
seems related to a Mandrake tool which I don't use.

  rpm -V libxml2 libxml2-devel
can be used to verify that both packages are correctly installed and not 
corrupted.
The latest version is 2.5.11 available from ftp://xmlsoft.org/ but taht
would probably require a local rebuild of the source RPM. See with Mandrake
if they have a more recent version.
