Good - cheetah 'is' installed via pip3 > sherwood@sherwood-IdeaCentre-A730:~$ sudo apt-get install weewx > Reading package lists... Done > Building dependency tree > Reading state information...

Apt can lose its mind. Very frustrating. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/389156/how-to-fix-held-broken-packages first answer has some options. I think if you do the "apt-get install weewx -f" (ie, force it) that somebody else suggested, it might work and run ok. Might be worth a try. Now regarding the debian package for weewx v4, I don't know if it's looking for a "package" containing cheetah, or just the existence of cheetah even if it was installed via pip. If it's the former and your distro doesn't "have" a package, then you're always going to need to force the package to install. Building packages to cover every os when every os is different is hard. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
