Tim, Greg,

clean install of ubuntu mate 20.04.1 LTS Desktop, including dev tools. ssh,
no apache
this installs by default python3:
Python 3.8.5  (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux

all updates were run prior to attempt with weewx. then followed
1. wget -qO - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add -
2. wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx.list | sudo tee
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
3. apt-get update
4. apt-get install weewx

where step 4 had the reported failures.
 weewx : Depends: python-configobj (>= 4.5) but it is not installable
         Depends: python-serial (>= 2.3) but it is not installable

looking at the installed python3 components, apt reports in part:
python3-configobj/focal,focal,now 5.0.6-4 all [installed,automatic]

BUT NO python3-serial !!

So, why is the installer complaining about python-configobj when ver
5.0.6-4 clearly is >= 4.5
And why is python3-serial missing from the standard python (and apparently
not installable) if it is required by weewx?

I'm a C and unix guy and know nothing about python....

thanks
rich
