I wasn't paying attention to the repo Rich was pulling from.

cheers

Tim, Greg,

ah

I followed the instructions at http://www.weewx.com/docs/apt-get.htm

which did NOT differentiate the python versions.

changing the repo and installing weewx now works!

Thanks!!!

    I know nothing about python either.
    The directions I used for 20.04 was here:
    http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm
    That's why it says:
    wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
    and not
    wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx.list | sudo tee
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list

    and maybe that is why your install failed as what you were running
    was for python 2?

        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

            Hi Rich,

            Which Ubuntu 20 did you install on ? server or workstation ?

            I installed mine on server

            1st thing....

              sudo apt update
              sudo apt upgrade -y

            then I checked that python was OK

            timt@metoffice:~$ python3
            Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40)
            [GCC 9.3.0] on linux
            Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
            information.
             >>>
            timt@metoffice:~$

            then

            wget -qO - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add -
            wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee
            /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
            sudo apt install apache2
            sudo apt-get install weewx

            and it was good to go from there.

            cheers

            Tim
