How should I proceed with the update for weewx-multi (2 instances)?

Not sure what you're asking. If all instances are using the same code base, just update the code base.

I have a dual instance setup running and it's basically as Tom said, you just upgrade WeeWX as normal. A WeeWX upgrade only upgrades weewx.conf so once the upgrade is done I run the following command on each instance config file (neither of my config files is named weewx.conf - if you do use weewx.conf for one instance then of course it is upgraded as part of the WeeWX upgrade so no need to 'upgrade' it again) to upgrade the instance config files:

$ cd /home/weewx
$ ./bin/wee_config instance.conf --dist-config=weewx.conf.X.Y.Z --upgrade

I run a setup.py install so for a package install the paths will be different. sudo may also be required depending on your setup.

Thanks, the update was successful.

After the normal WeeWX upgrade, there was an error message:

See "systemctl status weewx.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript weewx, action "start" failed.

After :

sudo wee_config --upgrade --config=/etc/weewx/dav.conf --dist-config=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf.dist
and
sudo wee_config --upgrade --config=/etc/weewx/eco.conf --dist-config=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf.dist

there was no error .

How can I solve the 'upgrade' problem? ( Raspberry pi 4 with Debian Bullsey )

Terminal command : sudo apt upgrade

.... 0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert

1 not completely installed

....

dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes weewx (--configure):
»installiertes weewx-Skript des Paketes post-installation«-Unterprozess gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
Trigger für libc-bin (2.31-13+rpt2+rpi1+deb11u2) werden verarbeitet ...

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I replaced the weewx (=weewx-multi) in the /etc/init.d folder with the normal weewx and then the upgrade finished without error, Then copied weewx-multi again as weewx in the /etc/init.d folder.
Next time I do the upgrade immediately
sudo wee_config --upgrade --config=/etc/weewx/instance.conf --dist-config=/etc/weewx/weewx.conf.dist
