You do have the libffi error:

Its fairly straightforward, backing up your WeeWX config and data should make re-installing WeeWX fairly painless. The basic steps are: 1. stop WeeWX 2. backup you WeeWX data, assuming you are using SQLite you just need to backup any .sdb files in /var/lib/weewx 3. backup up you WeeWX confg and skins, ie everything in /etc/weewx 4. backup your bin/user directory, /usr/share/weewx/user in your case 5. download your preferred raspbian stretch image, burn it to a SD card and boot your RPi from the new image 6. setup RPi as required 7. install WeeWX and get a minimal install running with the simulator 8. stop WeeWX and copy your old database over the new one, restart WeeWX 9. start adding in any extensions/customisations etc, refer back to your backup /etc/weewx/weewx.conf and skin.conf files for any config details/customisations Some folks might prefer to take a shorter approach, ie just copy all the WeeWX directories from the old to the new, that may work but it can also tangle you in knots if it goes awry.
