I am sorry nothing helped you.
Expat 1.95.2 was released July 2001, so it is quite old.

We are currently wrapping up the release of 1.95.6.
However, we have no control over what RedHat puts
into its distributions.

There are no major changes between 1.95.5 and 1.95.6, just bug/build fixes
and a few API additions. 1.95.5 has been downloaded more than 80,000 times
and there have been barely any complaints.
