It looks like the PPA that you downloaded from a third party was built 
for an old version of the OS and wants to link against an old version of 
libxml, so is incompatible with the version that you now have after 
upgrading Ubuntu. You fix this by getting an updated PPA that is 
compatible with the libraries in the new version of Ubuntu.

That's not something I've come across. UPGRADING software to be 
compatible with a new OS is often necessary, but just deleting and 
reinstalling the same software is generally just a waste of time.
