That was one of the *many* permissions-related problems caused by the update! Changing the registered user of a complex program that reads and writes many files in many places, without making sure that the user knows the consequences of and necessary fixes for this makes changing horses in midstream look like a reasonable and appropriate thing to do! The first problem was that the new registered user didn't have access to the serial port. The crt problem was as you said and was the second one to surface after the first had been fixed. Subsequent to fixing that, I had to correct the access rights to the folders corresponding to a number of 'sites' that my copy of weewx creates.
Life was made substantially more difficult because my ISP has just changed how it manages FTP connections, and there are problems with the new implementation, so when things went wrong with the FTP-uploaded sites I originally blamed them on the ISP's FTP issues. The crt extension puts its output in a subfolder of /var/www/html, whence weewx FTPs it to a different site (not one hosted by my regular ISP). I was using V 0.21 of crt, but have now updated to V 0.23.
