Hi Zap,

Why don't you just download the latest chirp-daily and install it directly?

https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20200516.tar.gz

Untar and install.

Or ask the others issued Current Ubuntu which repository is working for them.

Dan recommends:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily
But you've tried this, but every darned repository version fails, most likely due to a dependency using python that's using a newer version than chirp-current does.

You might look around to see if Ubuntu has the application pyenv which allows using specific versions with certain programs.

I'm trying to get that very program working to allow me to use python 3.7 on a distro SLINT (Slackware) that only has python 2.7. Haven't mastered yet, but I'm stubborn.

Best wishes,

David

No dice. Using the Eoan PPA (and all the others that I tried) I get multiple uninstallable package errors. I think that the Focal PPA is broken given that the specific error it throws is this:

E: Unable to locate package chirp-daily

I suppose I could boot up an older machine to do this, but I was hoping to just have it on my regular laptop that I take with me.

No. I'm using 19.10 but point the sources.list entry to a version that I know works so I get the correct updates.

Sorry: FF = Focal Fossa

Do most folks run the Xenial build and have no trouble with that on later releases?

You don't say which version of Ubuntu but you might need to point your /etc/apt/sources.list entry for Chirp back to xenial.
