Actually, the /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.30 would not likely to have been installed by apt/dpkg but likely by some tarball installation of some package instead. The problem with tarball installations like this is that the shell typically uses files in /usr/local before /usr and in this case, it is a problem.
And the TLS errors would appear to be related to a VNC server starting up...maybe normal, may not be normal...I don't know. web servers aren't going to log in a ~/.xsession-errors anyway. The openoffice.desktop errors are because launchers for a version that is no longer installed are in some panel on your desktop. Remove launchers, error goes away.
