Okay here's my problem.  I upgraded my machine to FC3 with no problems.
However, in the latest round of updates there are new libxml2 libs
available.  I want to upgrade my libs but here's the error message I
get:

RPM package conflict error.  The message was:
Test install failed because of package conflicts:
file /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 from install of libxml2-2.6.16-3 conflicts
with file from package libxml2_2-2.6.15-2_14.rhfc2.at


Now, I did an rpm -e of the libxml2 libs that I got from ATRPMS and did
a force install of the base FC3 rpms to the system.  However, I still
get the above error message when I try to upgrade.  What did I miss when
removing the packages and how do I go about fixing this so I can get the
FC3 released updates?
