Another terribly bad problem report.  Please read https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Help!-Posting-to-weewx-user for how to provide enough information for people to try to help....

But given your minimal information....

Why did you answer yes for installing weewx if it was already there and installed ?

Suggest you try 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' if you are trying to upgrade from initial 5.0.0 to the latest revision...

Many Tnx for the info, now i fid this!

Now give a unique URL for the station. A Weather Underground
URL such as https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KORPORT12 will do.
Unique URL: https://stationsweb.awekas.at/index.php?id=34255

Daniel: slow down and give us a more complete picture of what you're trying to do. You're mixing upgrade attempts with v4.10 runtime errors with permission issues.

What are you trying to accomplish? Get v4.10.2 running, or upgrade? Let us know, then give us a complete overview of what the problem is.

The "string to float" exception can happen if you lose the separator character (comma) between station latitude and longitude, or perhaps have some extra spurious character.  I don't know what happens for different languages.

When dpkg configure fails then it will again attempt to complete the configuration every time apt upgrade runs. That will be why it is running again even if you have already "installed" the latest version.

Instead of fully reinstalling, you should just try dpkg --configure -a
