He he - that was exactly my problem.
I was trying to update from YDL 3.1 to YDL4.0.
Yum returned  with the error that dependencies for yum couldn't be 
resolved. It needed libxml2 in a newer edition which wasn't available.
This was caused by that I was faster to implement the use of yum than 
YD was.
Soooooo........
I thought - ok - let us recompile libxml2 to make it compatible to the 
newer yum. Only - t do so you basically have to install perl 
and...and....and...
basically YDL 4.0.
So I ended there  - it was not possible to update yum when the running 
yum required the old libxml2 and the new yum required the new libxml2 
and the new libxml2 required YDL 4.0.
