Hello dear WeeWx users! When installing WeeWx 5.1 on a freshly installed RasiOS 12 (Debian 12 Bookworm) on an Raspi 3B, I ran into problems:
The offical installation description <https://weewx.com/docs/5.1/quickstarts/debian/> for Debian does not work for me. The pgp key download worked fine, but *apt* does not find the key and complains accordingly when you try to *"apt update"*: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A0CB255B75BF977C This is my system version: Linux 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.51-1+rpt2 (2024-10-01) aarch64 GNU/Linux But the problem is neither weewx.com nor the key. Something seems to have chanced with *apt* in Debian 12. It seems to want a different directory now for those keyfiles (As described here <https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/768304>in a different context) *Solution* - Download the key file into /etc/apt/keyrings and *not* into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d - Change Information in the file weewx.list accordingly, including the new path to the key file. This is what I did exactly (as root user) 1. Download the key file in the right directory wget -O - https://weewx.com/keys.html | gpg --dearmor --output /etc/apt/keyrings/weewx.gpg 2. correct file permissions chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/weewx.gpg 3. manually create the .list file for *apt*: nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list 4. and write this very line into the file weewx.list: deb [arch=all signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/weewx.gpg] https://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main and save the file. Note the option "signed-by=" with the path to the key file. 5. correct file permissons chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list That's it. Now sudo apt update runs without complaints. Perhaps the documentation for debian installs needs an update. Many thanks to thy makers of WeeWx for their great work. Im am running a weather station with WeeWx on Raspi since 2019 without interruptions. I ran into this issue while setting up a new replacement hardware. Best regards to all weather station operators out there! Good luck and have fun! Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
