Yes, it's true that there is a copy of the v5.0 skins in /usr/share/weewx/weewx_data/skins. This is what Python calls "package data <https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/datafiles.html>." It is used by "weectl station create" to create a new station data area. weectl copies it over from its obscure location to the new station data. It is not intended to be used by the user, mostly because it's buried so deep in the Python library.
As for why weewxd cannot read a file which is plainly there, the only thing I can think of is that the intervening directories in /etc/weewx/skins are not giving it permission. Check that they are all owned by user "weewx", and have 644 permissions Not sure what caused this, but I would guess it's because Debian is treating the skins as config files, which it deleted on the upgrade. Matthew would know more about this. It would help if you have the original upgrade commands and response from apt. -tk On Tue, Feb 6, 2024 at 3:05 PM Philip Wolff <[email protected]> wrote: > The Ubuntu package for weewx 5.0.1-3 installs a ton of stuff, including > the skins data, in /usr/share/weewx. > > /etc/weewx/skins contains three empty folders: font, lang, and NOAA. > > I copied /usr/shared/weewx/weewx_data/skins to /etc/weewx/skins and > veriified that Seasons/skin.conf is there.
