Sorry, that was a typo. I did run apt-get update (not upgrade). It seemed to run successfully but I just now noticed the following:
E: Repository 'http://weewx.com/apt squeeze InRelease' changed its 'Origin' value from '. squeeze' to 'python2 squeeze' E: Repository 'http://weewx.com/apt squeeze InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from '. squeeze' to 'python2 squeeze' N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details. Turns out there was an error when I tried to do the update. I got around this by rerunning the commands to trust weewx repository and configure python 3. Did not do this before because the user's guide says you only need to do it once upon first install. Anyway, during the weewx install it told me it was going to replace skins.conf and allowed me the D option to see the differences, but I could not figure out how to get out of it. After trying several things, I used CTL-Z which stopped the install process (I knew I would screw it up !). Tried running install afterwards, but it won't run - saying the process is locked. E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it? Is there any was to recover from this?
