I have tried both apt-get and aptitude and while I can upgrade it in
apt-get and aptitude but it's not without cost. See :-

$ sudo apt-get install xfdesktop4=4.10.2-2 xfdesktop4-data=4.10.2-2

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.

$ sudo aptitude install xfdesktop4=4.10.2-2 xfdesktop4-data=4.10.2-2
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  xfce4-utils{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
  xfdesktop4 xfdesktop4-data
2 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,582 kB of archives. After unpacking 2,609 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xfce4-session : Breaks: xfce4-utils but 4.8.3-2 is to be installed.
 libxfce4ui-utils : Breaks: xfce4-utils but 4.8.3-2 is to be installed.
 xfce4-appfinder : Breaks: xfce4-utils but 4.8.3-2 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     xfce4-utils [Not Installed]

     Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
2)     xfdesktop4 recommends xfce4-utils


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.

So as can be seen in both the situations xfce4-utils comes back . Can
you please fix it ?
