There's a few ass kicking dependencies, like specific versions commits of old facebook code that reddit modified and then created ubuntu packages for. There's about 4 that all depend on specific versions of each other. So even getting this stuff to a more recent Ubuntu than 14 proves to be very challenging, I tried for about 20 hours. It needs a rebuild to dump these dependencies and upgrade everything else to recent versions. It's too much for me to want to do alone, and no one else seems to care much.

Edit: it's also all still python 2
