I've used that script several times, but for one reason or another, I haven't
had much success getting it to work.  I did, however, have success by
downloading a tarball of the CVS sources, and with two for loops, one for
xfce-devel and another for xfce4-extra, I was able to configure, make, and
install, then clean up without problems.

I'll have to try the update script again and see if it'll work better for me,
since you've had good success with it.  Like you, I'm using Libranet, an
excellent commercial implementation of Debian GNU/Linux software.

Thanks for the info, Ken!
