adam, thank you for diving into this. when you do 'apt purge weewx' it is
*supposed* to delete the debconf variables. somehow yours did not. there
is logic in the weewx postinst maintainer script that is *supposed* to
clean user inputs, but that logic does not validate latitude/longitude. i
For anyone encountering this in the future:
sudo weectl station reconfigure helped give me a complete and current .conf
but still didn't fix the problem
sudo grep -Rnw /var -e 89-77993 #revealed:
$/var/cache/debconf/config.dat:742:Value: [redacted],-89-77993
Submitted without comment.

Also, where was that long. persisting if I deleted ALL those files? This
install, or lack thereof, displayed some bizarre behavior to say the least.

I double checked weewx.conf and it was a decimal so something was haywire.
I grep'd /etc and /var and deleted nearly everything weewx touched. Was
waiting for more feedback before continuing with reinstall.

Maybe , first of all, change

longitude = -89-77993
to
[Station]
longitude = -89.77993
in your weewx.conf and see, if this helps you getting rid of all this crap.
