What is the problem?
Chirp installation on Ubuntu is done requires the following commands sequence:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily
When you try to install Chirp on Ubuntu 20.04, you get the following output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package chirp-daily
The solution
- Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dansmith-ubuntu-chirp-snapsots-focal.list and change the Ubuntu release from fossa to to xenial.
- Try to install Chirp again by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily
This will result in dependencies error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
chirp-daily : Depends: python-libxslt1 but it is not installable
Depends: python-gtk2 but it is not installable
Depends: python-serial but it is not installable
Depends: python-suds but it is not installable

- Download DEB packages from https://drive.google.com/open?id=1irLlhwTVlC8wO9OhSt3-9j943CyimhmM and install them manually.
- Add yourself to dialout users group by running:
sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER
- Install Chirp by running:
sudo apt-get install chirp-daily

I have Ubuntu 20.04LTS and I am attempting to follow your instructions to install Chirp. I am running into an odd situation when I attempt to load the dependencies for CHIRP. DPKG refuses to load the dependency items because it claims that there is no PYTHON, while I have both Python 3.8 and Python 2.7.18 loaded, and I have autoconfigured Python to know that 2.7.18 version is to be used. When I try to manually install each dpkg, I get a no python installed, even though when I type python -V, it responds with python 2.7.18.
I have no idea how to proceed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Shane
