Tom, this sounds exactly like the problem I'm having, though mine started 
due to an install on new hardware, not a mere apt upgrade.

I've been discussing it 
here: https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/0Jiye8CmtLE

I'd love to hear any solutions.  I'm going to try Ubuntu on the Pi 5 in the 
next day or two to see if that makes a difference.
