A 404 is file not found, so it's possible that the raspbian site on internet took a hiccup. Try "sudo apt-get update" again. It should process pretty quickly and look like it didn't get confused or anything. I just did one now on my pi3plus and it was pretty snappy. pi@pi3plus:~ $ sudo apt-get update Get:1 http://weewx.com/apt squeeze InRelease [2,537 B] Get:2 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian stretch InRelease [25.4 kB] Get:3 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch InRelease [15.0 kB] Get:4 http://weewx.com/apt squeeze/main all Packages [3,613 B] Get:5 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch/main armhf Packages [11.7 MB] Get:6 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian stretch/main armhf Packages [220 kB] Get:7 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian stretch/ui armhf Packages [45.0 kB] Get:8 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch/contrib armhf Packages [56.9 kB] Get:9 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch/non-free armhf Packages [95.5 kB] Fetched 12.1 MB in 10s (1,157 kB/s) Reading package lists... Done John's other reply is of course correct, but if your system isn't totally up to date it'll do lots more updates to get your system current, so you might be changing more than one thing at a time. Quickest way to get this one package installed is 'apt-get update' followed by the 'apt-get install' of the package you want (as root or via sudo of course) But once you get weewx running right, I'd agree with doing the full 'apt-get upgrade' to catch up everything to current. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
