thanks for your persistence with this.
I reinstalled because I expected that the code would need to be recompiled
with python3.
I can revert back to python2 by, a) changing the /etc/defaults/weewx to
reference python2 and then reinstall again using "sudo dpkg -i
python-weewx_4.1.1-1_all.deb"
I tried again this time with only changing the /etc/defaults/weewx file and
running weewxd.
This time I got some errors due to the following:
user.alarm_multi.MyAlarm,
user.opsgenie.OpsGenieAlerts, user.opsgenie.OpsGenieHeartbeat
which I have removed and now weewxd works fine
However when I start the daemon "sudo /etc/init.d/weewx start" I still get
nothing, no process is started and no logs. Any ideas?
