I responded to this conversation a few days ago, but my message has disappeared. I wiped my sd card and spun a new OS. I'm happy to report Weewx 5 is working as expected on the new installation. I am sorry, i know it isn't helpful know that I cannot provide you that information. I was running a buster release on my Raspberry Pi2b. I had Weewx 4.8 previously and had tried installs using both the pip method and the package method. I got similar errors for the systemctl after both installations. My weewx.service file looked like the examples provided, so I don't know what was wrong. I assume it had something to do with my old installation, but I will never know.
