According to the dev who wrote it, the errors I get when trying to run it indicate an old, mismatched python installation. I have 2.7 & 3.x installed & if I try to uninstall 2.7, aptitude wants to delete all sorts of stuff I need.
So my mission right now is to figure out how to make eloipool use the newer version of python in case that helps.
Are you sure you need all of those? Most of those are probably just dependencies for python 2.7 and can be removed. But if you don't want to remove them, instead of using the remove command, use the purge command. Purge will only remove that package, and not the dependencies.
