Remove existing chroots with

sudo delete-chroot -a

and try again with these instructions.

You have to install using the silence branch:

sudo CROUTON_BRANCH=silence crouton -r xenial -t xfce

The silence branch prevents the attempt to install cras, which cannot be installed without the 3rd-party tool "autotools", which has been removed.
