I suspect that you have a corrupted debconf database. Be sure that when you remove WeeWX, you use
* sudo apt purge weewx* There is no "--purge" flag. To fix, try flushing the debconf database: * sudo echo PURGE | debconf-communicate weewx* Then install again. -tk On Mon, Nov 4, 2024 at 5:58 AM Auchtermuchty Weather <shunrac...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm trying to install the latest version, 5.1, onto a card for my test Pi. > > I installed bookworm, had problems installing the package until I used the > instructions in https://weewx.com/apt/. > > Eventually I removed it with sudo apt-get remove --purge weewx. > > However there are still issues.
