[Michael McClane]

Followed all the instructions but sudo apt-get install weewx returns  E: unable to locate package weewx.

[Jamie Stephens]

Did you add weewx to the trusted sources?

Would help if you copy/paste the exact commands you entered and their response.

You have to run the next line as well:

wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install weewx

[Mike McClane]

I’m confused. I ran:

wget - keys

wget - python3

apt-get update

apt-get install

What line did I miss

You didn't miss any I did.....

I am confused...
I missed the python line in your post.

Is this: deb [arch=all] http://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main

really in the weewx.list file?

It's strange it doesn't work.

I just created a debian buster virtual machine and ran the commands and it worked and installed fine.

Two things to try:

1. Check that weewx.com is in your sources directory:

ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d

You should see 'weewx.list'

2. See if apt knows about weewx:

apt show weewx

Post the results

weewx.list is in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

apt show weewx  returns

N: Unable to locate package weewx

N: Unable to locate package weewx

E: No packages found

Which is weird as the results  of:

roor@Buster: wget -qO - http://wewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list

root@Buster:/home/mrmccla# sudo apt-get update

give the appearance of finding the information.

This may be the problem

deb {arch=all} http://weewx.com/apt/python2 buster main is in the file.  instead python3!  I assume that I can delete the file and try to retrieve the python3 version.

Yes, you can delete weewx.list and start all over. But, the presence of python2 (instead of python3) does not explain your symptoms: it should still be able to locate the weewx package. 

The symptoms are more consistent with not having done the "sudo apt update" step. But, you say you did this.

Followed the exact same steps.  It worked this time loading the proper version python.
