Ok, I have no idea on this one, I don't know enough either ConTeXt or
tl-portable.

For this one, I have my little idea. First of all, it is *normal* that you
cannot successfully install from the svn at any given time: sometimes the
list of files for a package changes (or the package name or collection
itself) but the database texlive.tlpdb being regenerated only once a day
remains in an incoherent (wrt the actual filesystem) state in the meanwhile.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll try guessing: this may have something to do with
the fact that a typo was made in a collection file yesterday, so it depends
on something inexistent. This is another possible problem when
updating/installing from the svn.

Not you, but probably the repository itself at the moment you tried.

Well, this one *should* work. We use a script to make a bit of QA before
uploading the updates to CTAN, since two days, hope it worked...

:-) Maybe it's possible to check if DISPLAY is set before starting, indeed.
Would it be enough?
