I was able to install a libxml2 package from the previous version of Ubuntu (25.04) on my 25.10 install and that resolved the libxml2.so.2 error for me. The package is here:

[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libxml2\_2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-0.4ubuntu0.4\_amd64.deb](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libxml2_2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-0.4ubuntu0.4_amd64.deb)

Just to let you know this is a possible workaround.
