Aha, I thought some manual magic might be required. I "gave up" and went the flatpak route instead like Tony said:
apt install -y flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpak flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo flatpak install chirp-daily-20200807.flatpak It then starts fine with: flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp I'm still working through serial/USB issues but I know how to handle those, generally.
