New version for when you have time to test, marcelocripe.
Now many options from the Package Installer work. Mainly the ones that don’t require any previous instructions before downloads and the ones that use backports. SO, now you will be able to download libreoffice Latest Brazilian language without a problem.
For packages with the “Latest” tag in Package installer, I would recommend downloading to a separate folder, to avoid any trouble with any other (non Libreoffice) backports dependencies installing on the offline computer. Your suggestion is good about keeping separate folders for separate things, mainly for packages coming from buster-backports.
What I was trying to explain in the post above about PI tag and APT tag is what you can see in the next picture:

At the top you can see, on the left column, the tag “PI”. This means the package listed here comes from the Package Installer program.
Below, you can also see the tag “APT”. This means the package comes from the main APT package list (antiX and debian repositories).
ALL APT packages can be downloaded (with dependencies) using the program.
Only a portion of “PI” packages can be downloaded using the current program. ALL Libreoffice packages are included in the downloadable list. Packages like gimp latest (comes from MX repo), opera (comes from opera repo), freeoffice, etc. CANNOT be downloaded yet (A message will pop up to inform you if you can download it or not).
Also, all new packages downloaded should now install properly using the program (old .repo packages can be installed from synaptic, from the terminal, etc.).

Search:
* Improving speed for Package Installer search
* Great improvement in speed for subsequent PI searches
* PI search ignores VPN (because downloading is too complicated)
* Fixed filtering for non system architecture PI programs
* Added search parameters used in search window
Downloading dependencies:
* Processing Packages from PI to build dependencies – Case 1 Downloading debs with curl/wget
* Processing Packages from PI to build dependencies – Case 2 Normal APT download
* Processing Packages from PI to build dependencies – debian-backports
* Created separate function for building dependency list
Updated installing from .repo
* Added option for installing programs from multiple packages (for .repo install)
Please test when you have time if you can continue downloading dependencies normally. If you cannot (no window pops up asking for user password), I will default to su-to-root instead of gksu.
