I updated (via sudo apt upgrade, after stopping weewx) from 4.4 to 4.5.1 on
Ubuntu 20.04 Core opting to get an updated weewx.conf
Configuration file '/etc/weewx/weewx.conf'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** weewx.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? Y
Installing new version of config file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf.dist ...
using debconf configuration values from previous install
update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/weewx
dpkg: error processing package weewx (--configure):
installed weewx package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 1
Processing triggers for systemd (245.4-4ubuntu3.5) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
weewx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I ended up with a bad weewx.conf and had to restore weewx.conf.dpkg-old
