José,

Hello. Thanks for this.

Could you check that line. It may just be a typo, but should be

apt install --purge sysvinit-core dbus dbus-x11 libnss-systemd-

with a hyphen at the end. That cured the dbus delays for me.

This is odd as 0.105-25 is the buster version.

I had tested this from xfce4 install but not the task-xfce4-desktop
metapackage. I will try and see if I can reproduce.

Are there any held packages or apt pinning in force?

Thanks
