i think i was mistaken about dnf not creating the weewx user. i thought we had implemented useradd so that the HOME for a new weewx user is /var/lib/weewx, but apparently we did that for debian, but not for redhat/suse. i will fix that. however, that is not relevant to your problem.
anyway, i am an idiot. if you look at the rules file, you will see that it is incorrect. instead of this: GROUP="weewx" we see this: GROUP="{weewx}" that is because there is a bug in the suse and redhat scriptlets that does an incorrect substitution. fixed at commit b32ca406, to appear real-soon-now in 5.0.1 meanwhile, you can fix it by editing /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-weewx.rules replace "{weewx}" with "weewx" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
