Matthew,

Many thanks for your reply.

it does look like I'm having the same issue as described in the link you 
posted - I searched high and low for similar issues but that one passed me 
by. My /etc/default/weewx file does contain the "python2" value.

WEEWX_PYTHON=python2
WEEWX_PYTHON_ARGS=
WEEWX_BINDIR=/usr/share/weewx
WEEWX_BIN=/usr/bin/weewxd
WEEWX_CFG=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf

As a bit of background. I'm running Weewx on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus 
Rev 1.3 (5.1.103-v7+) running Debian 11.1.

I followed the upgrade steps as 
per https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/debian/#upgrade. The install 
progressed okay, with the text UI showing asking me to set the station 
location/coordinates/website and select the weather station driver and also 
asked if I wanted to overwrite the weewx.conf file. After that it errored 
out.

I have modified the "WEEWX_PYTHON=python2" line to be "python3" and now the 
install progresses further, however no getting 

Setting up weewx (5.0.0-1) ...

       weectl.py -h|--help

exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 weewx
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I'll work on this one separately.

Thanks again for you help, and great software!

Cheers
Simon
