System is Rocky 9.2, fully updated.

Trying to install either 5.0beta or 4.10.2-1, and get:
# dpkg -i python3-weewx_4.10.2-1_all.deb
dpkg: regarding python3-weewx_4.10.2-1_all.deb containing weewx, pre-dependency problem:
 weewx pre-depends on debconf
  debconf is not installed.

similarly:
# dpkg -i python3-weewx_5.0.0b10-1_all.deb
dpkg: regarding python3-weewx_5.0.0b10-1_all.deb containing weewx, pre-dependency problem:
 weewx pre-depends on debconf
  debconf is not installed.

even though:
which dpkg debconf
/usr/bin/dpkg
/usr/bin/debconf

Pretty sure I'm simply doing something wrong, but not sure where to look next.

Sorry for the pester, sure its just my lack of understanding. ;-)

Please follow the RedHat-like os instructions on rocky and install weewx from the rpm.

Sorry to be so dense, but the RH like instruction:

For Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, see:
http://weewx.com/docs/latest/redhat.htm

produce a 404 error.

(as do the debian and suse links)
