There's nothing messed up with installing weewx twice. Heck, I probably
have a half-dozen installations right now on my nuc.

There are no hardwired paths in a weewx installation. Provided it can find
its modules, it can live anywhere. The key is weewx.conf: that's where all
the paths are. Given a weewx.conf, any installation of weewx can run it and
come up with the same results.

You already know that answer from 'where' the file is located.
If it's in /home/weewx then you used setup.py, otherwise you used the 
pre-packaged version.

And you can still have cases where people installed weewx twice (once 
setup.py, once packaged) and have a messed up system as a result.
