The "string to float" exception can happen if you lose the separator character (comma) between station latitude and longitude, or perhaps have some extra spurious character. I don't know what happens for different languages.
When dpkg configure fails then it will again attempt to complete the configuration every time apt upgrade runs. That will be why it is running again even if you have already "installed" the latest version. Instead of fully reinstalling, you should just try *dpkg --configure -a* On Friday 9 February 2024 at 1:37:23 am UTC+10 Daniel Fourlas wrote: > Journal begins at Thu 2022-09-22 06:17:24 EEST, ends at Thu 2024-02-08 > 17:35:55 EET. -- > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 systemd[1]: Starting LSB: weewx weather > system... > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: > Initializing weewx version 4.10.2 > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: > Using Python 3.9.2 (default, Feb 28 2021, 17:03:44) > [GCC 10.2.1 20210110] > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: > Located at /bin/python3 > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: > Platform Linux-6.1.21-v8+-aarch64-with-glibc2.31 > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: > Locale is 'en_GB.UTF-8' > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: > Using configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: > Debug is 0 > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11888]: weewx[11888] INFO __main__: PID > file is /var/run/weewx.pid > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] INFO weewx.engine: > Loading station type Ultimeter (weewx.drivers.ultimeter) > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] INFO > weewx.drivers.ultimeter: Driver version is 0.6 > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] INFO > weewx.drivers.ultimeter: Using serial port /dev/ttyUSB0 > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > Caught unrecoverable exception: > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** could not convert string to float: > '___________________________________________________> > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** Traceback (most recent call last): > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewxd", line 148, in main > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** engine = weewx.engine.StdEngine(config_dict) > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/engine.py", line 84, in __init__ > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** self.stn_info = weewx.station.StationInfo(self.console, > **config_dict['Station']) > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** File "/usr/share/weewx/weewx/station.py", line 51, in __init__ > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** self.latitude_f = float(stn_dict['latitude']) > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** ValueError: could not convert string to float: > '_______________________________________> > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 python3[11891]: weewx[11891] CRITICAL __main__: > **** Exiting. > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 weewx[11877]: Starting weewx weather system: > weewx. > Oct 23 02:19:57 SunSDR-pi4 systemd[1]: Started LSB: weewx weather system. > Oct 23 02:21:25 SunSDR-pi4 systemd[1]: Stopping LSB: weewx weather > system... > Oct 23 02:21:25 SunSDR-pi4 weewx[12401]: Stopping weewx weather system: > weewx not running.... > Oct 23 02:21:25 SunSDR-pi4 systemd[1]: weewx.service: Succeeded. > Oct 23 02:21:25 SunSDR-pi4 systemd[1]: Stopped LSB: weewx weather system. > > > Daniel Fourlas schrieb am Donnerstag, 8.
