There are some packages requireing X11, ie. gtk2-x11.

You can easy check this, run the postinstall script again from the command line before installing X11: $ sh /etc/postinstall/post-texinf.sh.done > Also, and someone else mentioned this, if I download > the packages first and then try to run the > installation from a local directory - it doesn't work.
