as i understand it, mint 19.2 is based on ubuntu 18.04, which is based on debian 10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Mint_version_history https://askubuntu.com/questions/445487/what-debian-version-are-the-different-ubuntu-versions-based-on but apparently your mint cannot find the python3-cheetah package. to help us diagnose this, could you see if it is listed under python3-cheetah3? post the result of this: apt-get list | grep cheetah here are two options for just getting things to work. option1: temporarily modify the weewx dependencies. since you already installed cheetah using pip3, you can tell your system to ignore the weewx package dependency by modifying the locally cached weewx package information. edit the file /var/lib/dpkg/status - go to the weewx section then modify the Depends line by removing the python3-cheetah part. next time you do 'sudo apt-get update' this will be replaced with the official one again, so if you want to continue ignoring the dependency you will have to modify the file again. warning! you can mess up your system if you scramble this file! option2: you have installed cheetah directly using pip3, so you have cheetah, just not the cheetah packaged by mint/ubuntu/debian. so weewx will be able to run. you could try installing weewx with an option to apt-get that tells it to ignore cheetah (since you already installed it using pip3). try this: sudo apt-get install weewx python3-cheetah- notice the hyphen after cheetah (i'm not sure if this still works - it was in apt-get ages ago) m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
