Bug Description

Hi
Today when i want install latest 0.9.13 version i get error

http://pastebin.com/4rc85C1a

And another problem is - when im only want use calibre-server (on NAS, or other minimal Linux without X)
new version 0.9.13 need so many libs from X

Older version 0.9.12 need only few.
libICE
libSM
libXext
libxdg
fontconfig
imagemagic

New version want arround 10 new :(
most from X/X11

Can you something improve - for calibre-server for working on minimal linux ...
and more easy install without so many depends ...
or maybe add some switch to run, example: calibre-server --light or something for that for system without X etc.
 This is really big problem, we need more space for all libs, wich i suppose never with calibre-server dont will be use, and make more difficult run on NAS systems

Thanks !!

calibre has required python 2.7 for years. The error you post has
nothing to do with python version, its most likely cause is missing
fontconfig libraries. But, I will make that particular import on-demand
so that it does not interfere with installation. That change will also
probably reduce your library dependencies, since that module is not
loaded by the content server.

BIG THANKS !!! Im and many other users of NAS device will be graceful for this changes :)
maybe is possiblity release package/installer only with calibre-server (with dependencies) for more smaller package
and safe space from not usend libs/exec etc... That it would be great - prefect solution

Once again Thanks !!
