Yum did it again

Greetings;

I just followed the instructions on the legacy web page on howto setup yum to use the legacy repos.

I have some stuff built from tarballs, like bleeding edge kernels cups, gimp etc, so those got added to the exclude line.

Unforch, I forgot about the libxml2 stuffs.  So, after yum had updated
several dozen packages including libxlm2, I'm back to square one with 
this error:
root@coyote dlds-rpms]# yum check-update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
    import yummain
  File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, in ?
    import yumcomps
  File "/usr/share/yum/yumcomps.py", line 4, in ?
    import comps
  File "/usr/share/yum/comps.py", line 5, in ?
    import libxml2
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in ?
    import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlNewDocPI

Obviously I'm missing a point here because historically I have had to
forceably reinstall the older versions of libxml2 here several times
before to get yum to work again.

So what is this point I'm missing?  

I really would like to be able to use yum, but the constant libxml2 
problems are making it impossible to use without an exclude line 
that includes libxml2*.
