I'll work on this one separately.
this is now a separate problem. now the version tags in weewx.conf are not
evaluating as expected (could me many reasons for this), so the fallback is
to provision a new weewx.conf using values from debconf. but it looks like
your debconf is not fully populated, so the call to weectl fails.
it could be pretty tricky to figure out how it got into this state. but
check the 'version' in /etc/weewx.conf - that won't give us a definitely
answer, but it might provide a clue.
to extract yourself, do a remove of weewx (not a purge!!)
sudo apt remove weewx
then install v5 again.
the remove should leave your database (/var/lib/weewx) and configurations
(/etc/weewx) intact. but make a copy of those directories before doing the
remove, just to be safe.
