I doubt `sudo` should be used here.

The error messages refer to files of core WeeWX:

I have no glue what happens there. The messages say, that weewx.conf could not
be found. Looking for that file is not part of install.py.
Unfortunately I cannot try the installation myself actually. And I have no
experience with weewx-venv.
See [2]install.py here.
There is a configure() method in this case, which is not widely used. But there
is no reference to weewx.conf in it. I would have expected that the copying and
linking in it may fail within a virtual environment, but the error messages say
otherwise.
