There is no need to mask any Xfce packages, in fact, masking them would
cause more blockers.
So that output would be bogus, as it would include the wrong Xfce masks,
and futhermore it's only end of
the output, so it wouldn't tell the necessary information required for
solving it anyway.
Remove anykind of Xfce masks and post complete output, and don't forget
to use the --tree flag (-t) to see
what is pulling in what.
That is, if you still want help solving the issue.
