Thank you @gjr80. Your last comment told me what I should have done from
the start. I diffed the files, and found that quite a few subtles changes
where performed in the template since the original version I had (new
variables and renamed variables)
So I updated my working file, with the WU forecast code I updated before,
and now it works.
Many thanks again for the help. And I am happy to report that my Weewx,
that needed restart every other day, seems now to work without any problem
since upgrade to 4.3.0.
FWIW, I had already removed the WD extension that did not seem usefull, and
it does not do any harm not to have them?
