[ I tried to post this once before and it didn't show up. I hope this
doesn't end up being a duplicate. ]
Background:
I have had weewx running on an ODroid N2 running Ubuntu Lite for years with
no problem using an Acurite 01536.
I decided to move the installation to a new Raspberry 5 running the latest
Raspbian Bookworm.
I freshly installed weewx 5.1.0 on the Pi 5 following the weewx
instructions for Debian. (The ODroid was previously using 5.1.0 as well.)
I re-used the same weewx.conf file I had been using. I also moved the
sqlite database from the old system to the new system.
Problem:
At startup, it doesn't seem to be able to properly find the device. I see
this in the log:

I assume that "bus= device=" are supposed to have values.
'lsusb -tv' shows:

Part of weewx.conf looks like this:

debug = 1
# Whether to log successful operations. May get overridden below.
log_success = True

Since the lsusb output said "Chaney Instrument Model 01036 weather center",
I also tried setting the model to "AcuRite 01036" with no improvement.
The 01536 model has no USB Mode setting -- it's always set to 4 which
should be fine.
I've read the full log details and found no other errors. I'm at a loss.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
