Matthew,
actually I was afraid to create either user or group manually as I was
not confident about whether there might be specifications I was not
familiar with thus both the user and group resulted when I first deleted
the directory /var/lib/weewx then ran dnf install weewx following the
install instructions for fedora 34+. I had checked both passwd and group
prior to running the install and the user and group were not present.
from grep weewx /etc/group I get:
xps13-9305:~$ grep weewx /etc/group
weewx:x:960:
@xps13-9305:~$ ll /etc/group
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1296 Jan 21 12:18 /etc/group
@xps13-9305:~$ ll /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3400 Jan 21 12:18 /etc/passwd
@xps13-9305:~$ sudo dnf history list weewx
