New Install - Debian 9 Stretch

[Dave Walker]

My new install on a Debian 9 PC is off to a rocky start. I used the instructions at the link below:

http://www.weewx.com/docs/debian.htm

Sudo is not installed in a fresh version of Debian 9, so I began as root.

It appears that Weewx is expecting access to the squeeze repository. but I am running stretch??

Can anybody set me on the right path. I sure didn't get far on my own. Help would be appreciated!

Dave,

Try using su - rather than just su. Note the dash (-) after su, that
dash fully sets your environment for root which should help with the
gpg issue and the remaining errors to disappear.

Don't worry about the squeeze line in the weewx repo , it should work
regardless.
Cheers
Glenn

Thanks for the noobi help, Glenn. Your recommendations worked, and I now have a Weewx simulator running. I had never previously encountered the use of "su -". There is always something to be learned!

I had the same problem, searched and tried dozens of threads, the "su -" vs "su" made all the difference!
