Still working on getting a current version of CHIRP on Debian Stable.

Here's the latest.

flatpak uninstall chirp
Found installed ref ‘app/com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master’ (system). Is this correct?

[Y/n]: y
error: Remote "chirp-origin" not found

I have tried to install (or reinstall) chirp using flatpak and I've been confused and unfulfilled.

I did find this script on this page https://piratesinteepees.org/installing-chirp-in-ubuntu-20-04/

#####

#!/bin/bash
#
#
# This script updats chirp flatpak to latest daily build
# Add this to root's crontab for automatic updates
# If run as standard user, you will get a popop asking for admin password
#
#
#Make download folder if doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/Downloads/ChirpFP
#Move to Download folder
cd ~/Downloads/ChirpFP
#Remove previously downloaded flatpaks
rm *.flatpak
#Pull link from download page and download latest flatpak
wget `lynx -dump https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ | awk '/http/{print $2}' | grep flatpak`
#Install the file
flatpak install -y --noninteractive *.flatpak

#####

I tried it, but alas, I still get the cryptic error: Remote "chirp-origin" not found

I am still confused and lost.

Does anyone know how I can uninstall what seems to be a flatpak installation on Debian?

If I try to update, I receive this error.

$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…
Unable to update app/com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master: Remote "chirp-origin" not found

Best wishes,

AC0HY, I agree with you, I thought the new chirp-daily would overwrite the previous chirp-daily and maybe it would be I have no memory of whether I used a flatpak or used the danplanet repository.

If anyone would have a suggestion of how I could get rid of it the duplicate chirp, I'd be grateful.

chirp --version

CHIRP daily-20201221 on Linux - Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Python 2.7.16)

$ which chirpw
/usr/bin/chirpw

apt purge chirpw

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
chirp-daily*

After this operation, 4,622 kB disk space will be freed.

Now I try chirpw and it seems I have a chirpw in a different place that I chmod -x so it could not execute.

-bash: /usr/local/bin/chirpw: Permission denied
root@debian:~# chmod +x /usr/local/bin//chirpw
root@debian:~# chirpw
WARNING: python-future package is not available; chirp.drivers.anytone778uv requires it

I forget what I just did but whatever I just did, now chirp runs, but it's the OLD version:
CHIRP daily-20201221

Trying to purge both chirp and chirp-daily fail - apt says it's not installed.

Ran updatedb as root then, as user:
locate chirp > ~/chirpfiles
File attached.

Anyone got a clue how I can get rid of the chirp I have that I can't uninstall using apt?
I don't think I installed it from source, but I may have because I couldn't find a deb file to install in Debian, but that would have been before January 2021, and I have aging memory capacities these days. My md5sum memory brain comes out like: "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold..." and starts playing Patty Cake. It's part of life, but when you go into the kitchen twice to get a spoon and return twice without it, it's embarrassing. Thankfully my cat hasn't caught on yet.

Best wishes,
David

That is right, but they conflict. DO NOT INSTALL BOTH. The reason for the error you get is because you have attempted to install both. Just because they are in package manager (from different repositories) does not mean you should install both.

The error is telling you that this is the problem.

Hello List,

I'm confused.

I have added the sources for Chirp daily snapshot to Debian Stable.

I install chirp.

I ask chirpw --version and I get:

CHIRP daily-20201221 on Linux - Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Python 2.7.16)

when I try to install again,

wajig install chirp-daily

install chirp-daily
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
chirp-daily is already the newest version (20210310~xenial~1).

How do I get the newest chirp?
