I discovered today that the 2022 version of CHIRP which did not show under Synaptic or apt list --installed had been created, and then created under flatpack. Having done that, that's one step forward, my 2022 legacy CHIRP is now uninstalled.
I still can't run chirp though
anthony@anthony-System-Product-Name:~$ ~/.local/bin/chirp

Chirp is not packaged for specific distros since there would be a lot of work involved in making it work for each one and the work would multiply for each distro where it was specifically packaged.

As is the intent is for the user to install it using pip and thus it is almost universal for installation in every distro out there.

If you wish to take on the task of making packages for specific distros then by all means please volunteer.  

Most of us are happy that it is available and will work for (almost) everyone as it is.  Distribution as a python package and installing it with pip is universal in approach and avoids the extra overhead of meeting the multiple packaging requirements for various distros.

Well Sean.

If you read my original post, you'd have seen that the line:-

     pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230509-py3-none-any.whl

Is the line in error at this time...


As to suggesting to learn how to build a package from the sources...

Why is that not already done by the authors/maintainers?
Surely they know what's needed better than anyone...
