Ah, that's just me and the keyboard having issues again!

Ah, actually. I've given you the wrong command. To list installed
packages try the following
apt list --installed | grep owserver
apt list --installed | grep python-ow
Post the results of those commands

Nope. For a start, just give it try with...
sudo apt install owserver ow-shell
That should replace anything stale, or that's considered to clash.

Definitely do the above.
Those 2 lines are all that needs to be in the /etc/owfs.conf file for
this configuration to work.

You could add a status check just to make sure it's all good
sudo systemctl status owserver # that should work, but I'm not a systemctl user.

That's it
[OWFS]
interface = localhost:4304
driver = user.owfs
[[sensor map]]
outTemp = /uncached/28.6E175D040000/temperature
(Although I have had one configuration baulk at localhost, using
127.0.0.1 worked ? interface = 127.0.0.1:4304)

Agreed. An opportunity for us all :-)
