It would help if you would be more specific.  Give us the actual names
of things, and the actual version numbers.

For example:

unicorn:~$ apt-cache search --names-only chirp
chirp - Configuration tool for amateur radios
unicorn:~$ apt-cache show chirp | head
Package: chirp
Version: 1:20200227+py3+20200213-3
Installed-Size: 4206
Maintainer: Debian Hamradio Maintainers <debian-hams@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Depends: python3-future, python3-serial, python3-six, python3-wxgtk4.0, python3:any
Description-en: Configuration tool for amateur radios
 CHIRP is a free, open-source tool for programming your amateur radio. It
 supports a large number of manufacturers and models, as well as provides a way
 to interface with multiple data sources and formats.

Going by the version number, that looks like it's from 2020.  Are you
not running the current stable release of Debian?

As far as running your chirp20220103 version, seeing the errors might be
helpful.  I'm not a python expert myself, but I'd be willing to bet that
someone on this list would be able to advise you if we could see the
actual error message.
