I have been a long time away as I had A: other interests/problems to
solve and B weewx works still without problems. However I'm still
working with version 4.1.1 and I think it's becoming time to upgrade to
1.5. However there is a problem.When I try to upgrade using apt I get
the following message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
weewx : Depends: python3-cheetah but it is not installable.
I've tried to reinstall it (using synaptic) but no success. Can anybody
shine light on this problem and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Joep L. Blom

You didn't say what operating system you are using, but a Python 3 version of Cheetah is not available on Debian 9 systems. What operating system are you using? Here are a few options:
1. Upgrade to Debian 10;
2. Or, use Python 2;
3. Or, install using pip:
pip3 install cheetah3
The last is probably the best solution.

Thanks and sorry I was what negligent. I'm running weewx on an old
raspberry with debian 9 I don't know if 10 is available for the
raspberry. I update it regularly but only using apt but perhaps I have
to upgrade to raspberry 10.
It is controlling a Vantage Pro2 and still works perfectly but I will
more different displays and an upgrade.
You said "or install using pip" I assume that is possible with Debian 9.
I know pip only as a very old (1969) file manager for Dec of the OS
"OS4" where pip stood for "Peripheral Interchange Program".

I followed your suggestion. However, it came with the following:
except DistutilsPlatformError, x:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in
/tmp/pip-build-hod7_7mb/cheetah/
Is there a solution for this?

It looks like you're using an older version of pip, designed for Python 2. Make sure you have a more modern copy.
Check the documentation for pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

Thanks Tom. I went to the site and I followed the upgrade instructions

but I assume however that the raspberry OS is unwilling to follow the
rules and gave me the following:

To be honest. my programming days are long behind me (as you can
imagine) and interpreting error messages is a little difficult but maybe
you can she your light on it.

Honestly, I think you'll save yourself a lot of time by just upgrading your RPi to Raspbian 10 ("buster"). Security updates for Debian 9 ("stretch") were discontinued over a year ago.
Search the web for instructions. Here's an example: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md

Tom,
Thanks, I just came into my study and found your reply. I think you're
right, maybe use a new RPi as this one is already 7 years old but I give
it a try with a new Raspbian. Hope I can find tomorrow the time a it
takes a lot of restoring old date as I have now weather data for over 10
years and I will not destroy the time-series.

Your hardware should be fine; this raspberrypi.org page claims the latest RPi OS is compatible with all RPi models.

It shouldn't be hard to preserve your old data. Just be sure to make a backup first. Here's what to back up.
An older Raspberry Pi, even one 7 years old, should have no problem running buster. I've got it running on a six year old RPi 2, and it works just fine.
