In my defense.. I would like to point out that there are two PPAs listed on the site:

http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa

-and-

http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots

I found the hams-update PPA first so that is the one I had used first. There is no chirp-daily on that PPA. I removed that one and added the snapshots PPA and I was able to install chirp-daily from that and it works fine now.

I wanted to thank you again for your help.

Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."

The PPA version is NOT outdated. That is how I do mine, and I have
"CHIRP daily-20160116" and it updates every time a new version comes
out, unless I hold it up.

And yes putting it in its own folder will work nicely as long as you
start chirp in that folder.
