ok
With more googleing it seems I need
python3-configobj
python3-serial

I wonder why they weren’t there? If anyone else has this issue, you need to run
sudo apt-get install python3-serial python3-configobj

and a reboot brings it back to life…So far, anyway!

The update is moving to Python3 but should run the install script which includes

Could you possibly post the update log plus the system info from the Admin panel please?

It will help us identify what the issue might be.

The solution will be to run the install manually

cd /opt/openenergymonitor/emonhub
./install

just say no to question (key input is not echoed; just hit return).
