Converting string to float in install.

HW: RPI5

SW: error on both RaspOS (bookworm) and Ubuntu

During install, the user is prompted for lat/long of the weather station.

The installation fails with the following error output:

File "/usr/share/weewx/weectllib/station_actions.py", line 205, in config_config
config_latlon(config_dict, latitude=latitude, longitude=longitude, no_prompt=no_prompt)
File "/usr/share/weewx/weectllib/station_actions.py", line 345, in config_latlon
config_dict['Station']['longitude'] = float(final_longitude)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '0.00048.830545'

The value I entered was 48.830545, not 0.000etc

Any suggestions highly appreciated.
