The installer problem was due to the regular chirp install conflicting with the chirp-daily install. To solve this, you must uninstall package chirp, before installing package from chirp-daily. This is because in the Debian way of managing packages, the 'official' archive package conflicts with the package from the 'unofficial' archive. Normally this is desirable way to work, but in this situation causes problems for those who do not understand the underlying cause.
Assuming you did this:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chirp-daily
Now do this:
sudo apt-get remove chirp sudo apt-get install chirp-daily

I suspect that using the daily build will solve the problem, but the installation of the deb file for the daily build fails broken pipe errors from the command line, the software manager, and manually from the deb installer.
