WeeWx 5.0 problem on Ubuntu 23.10 after upgrade

I am not able to upgrade after upgrading Weewx 5.0 on Ubuntu 23.10

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Hello,

What version were you upgrading from? It appears to be an older version that does not have a [[Defaults]] section (introduced V3.9).

it looks like a bug in the v5 station actions.  fixed at commit 2754e393

as a workaround, edit your weewx configuration file by adding this to the [StdReport] section:

[[Defaults]]

    foo = bar

then run the v5 upgrade again
