Dear Dan Smith,

Some users install chirp-daily from your PPA (https://launchpad.net/~dansmith/+archive/ubuntu/chirp-snapshots), and then try to install chirp from Ubuntu. That is not possible because these .deb packages provide the same files.

Could you add add "Conflicts: chirp" in chirp-daily package to make it clear that the packages are mutually exclusive?

Regards,
Juhani Numminen
