Actually, I just copied the chirp-daily version to it's own directory and I am running it from there. It seems to coexist ok with the distribution version. I was just wondering why the PPA version was out-dated...

"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."

Sounds like you have chirp installed, you need to remove chirp, then
install chirp-daily. Your distribution has an old version of chirp and
will give you errors if you try to install chirp-daily before removing
chirp.
