i was thinking that prior to trying to install again you might want to run the primary script files of the dstat package as it was downloaded through a checker of some sort . you could also try un-commenting the encoding line since the error spit due to an issue with syntax/unknown encoding. the error you got is not all that big of a deal but not being able to remove due to it, is a big deal. as an aside, i have found that while these things are frustrating as heck, i learn more by trying to work through them
