Hi All...
I ran into a circular dependency with X as well. I temporarily installed something that wanted it and then later removed the original package. I tried a couple of times to remove X and gave up. (It doesn't take that much disk to worry about and I'll take care of it on my next clean install.)
HTH,
...Karl

Setup is only bringing in X because something you have installed requires it.
It's possible that there is a circular dependency loop within the X programs themselves, and if so you may (at least Right Now) be out of luck for your uninstallation needs.
However, the partial view as another poster has suggested is probably the best way to tackle this. And I'd suggest you compare what you want installed vs what you have installed with the setup.ini from the mirror you are using - you should be able to spot the culprit that is dragging the X packages in.
My WAG is that a package you *want* wants X.
