Evening...
OK, I've had the time to upgrade from LMDE5 to LMDE6, after uninstalling the earlier resident Chirp, and some other tools that were said to conflict with the upgrade process. (Virtualbox for one...)
Overall, the upgrade went well. The system is stable and has been reliably working well for the last week, so time to re-install what was removed prior to the upgrade. So far so good, with other software... Some of it my own Python ramblings, that works just as it did on LMDE5.
("LMDE", is Linux Mint Debian Edition. Mint without any Ubuntu code, just Debian as it's basis, plus the Mint parts.)
Anyway... Chirp chirp-20240827-py3-none-any.whl Fresh download an hour ago.... (1,805,686 bytes)
Following the instructions at:- https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux
This happens....

That looks a bit "terminal", so what's awry this time?
python3 is now reporting version 3.11.2
pipx is the newest version (1.1.0-1) (That literally updated less than an hour ago!)
For now, I've installed the distro version, as I need to alter some radio settings...
That for the record, is:- CHIRP 0.3.0dev on Linux hp-compaq-sfdt 6.1.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.99-1 (2024-07-15) x86_64 (Python 3.11.2)
But it does the job for now.
Comments re the .whl file install error? What is missing this time?
73.
