install it now takes 3 minutes.

And I don't get those xargs errors.

Now I see:

===> Installing for xfce4-extras-4.0.4nb2
===> Becoming root@puget.reedmedia.net to install xfce4-extras.
/usr/bin/sudo => phase: install

===> Registering installation for xfce4-extras-4.0.4nb2
=> phase: install

xfce4-extras-4.0.4nb2 requires installed package MesaLib-6.0
