Jon,

Upgrading: You do NOT need to uninstall an existing version of CHIRP before installing a newer one. Just install the new one and it will replace the existing copy! However, be sure to quit CHIRP before installing the new version!

The CHIRP team recommends CHIRP-next unless you experience problems with your radio. If you do, please see How_To_Report_Issues.

Removing the old package and installing the new one worked, but there should be a more "efficient" method...

This worked:
jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx list
venvs are in /home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs
apps are exposed on your $PATH at /home/jon/.local/bin
   package chirp 20230531, installed using Python 3.11.2
    - chirp
    - chirpc
jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx uninstall-all
uninstalled chirp! ✨ 🌟 ✨
jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230601-py3-none-any.whl
  installed package chirp 20230601, installed using Python 3.11.2
  These apps are now globally available
    - chirp
    - chirpc
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨

Any way to upgrade on a flagged system like Ubuntu 23.04 in the future without removing the old one first?
