That's an apt-d issue (in hopefully Jordi Sayol will read this)

prevents using this repository if your machine has no X (I

discovered that on a server, as I did).
Yes. It also supports multiple versions side by side and also
installs dub. You can find the source here:
https://github.com/dlang/installer/blob/master/script/install.sh
Example usage:
# Install dmd 2.70.0
~/dlang/install.sh install dmd-2.70.0
# Install dmd 2.69.0
~/dlang/install.sh install dmd-2.69.0
# start using version 2.70.0
activate ~/dlang/dmd-2.70.0
# stop using version 2.70.0
deactivate
# start using version 2.69.0
activate ~/dlang/dmd-2.69.0
# stop using version 2.69.0
deactivate
# uninstall version 2.69.0
~/dlang/install.sh uninstall dmd-2.69.0
# removes everything installed so far
rm -rf ~/dlang
# downloads (again) the install script and
# installs the latest stable version of the compiler.

Yes, it's a server.
It's actually a linux branded SmartOS zone and the install script
does not seem to work.
I have always been using the .deb package and it's been working,
I just didn't want xdg-utils and all the other stuff that comes
with it.
