If you're installing this for the first time then there's no need for the 
--update. I don't know that --deep is good practice, either. What are you 
trying to achieve?

 It fails at glib-perl-1.223, since it can't find ExtUtils::Depends and
 ExtUtils::PkgConfig.  Here is the relevant section from the build log:

 Looks good

To update my first installation of xfce from ~February 2010.  Maybe it
would have been better to omit the --deep to begin with.
