Thanks all so much for the quick replies! I attempted to implement your
suggestion and got the following:
ron@WeatherPi5:~ $ sudo echo PURGE | debconf-communicate weewx
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
0
debconf: DbDriver "config": could not write
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat-new: Permission denied
try:
sudo sh -c 'echo PURGE | debconf-communicate weewx'
Thanks for the debconf-communicate trick; been a Deb user for decades
("Woody") and have never run into that.
In exchange:
sudo can read and pass through piped stdin
echo PURGE | sudo debconf-communicate weewx
