the messages about 'dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory' are expected, and should not cause any problems.
the error is coming from the postinst script, probably where we set permissions. it has been working smoothly on clean installs and clean upgrades, but on some upgrades it fails. could you post the output from the following: cat /etc/default/weewx ls -la /var/lib/weewx ls -la /usr/share/weewx ls -la /etc/weewx ls -la /var/www/html/weewx > On 09 Jan 2024, at 12:40, [email protected] wrote: > > Hey Tom, > > Just tried to upgrade from rc1 to rc3-2, and get > > Get:1 https://weewx.com/apt-test/python3 buster/main all weewx all 5.0.0rc3-2 > [1,556 kB] > Fetched 1,556 kB in 0s (3,314 kB/s) > Reading changelogs...
