Attempting to remove Chirp from the App Center by clicking the arrow then the "uninstall" button causes the clock to cycle, but it does not uninstall and once the clock cycles back to zero - the "open" button displays again, as does the "Uninstall" button if you click on the arrow.
From the terminal sudo apt -y autoremove --purge chirp is not removing or purging chirp.
$ sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge chirp

Package 'chirp' is not installed, so not removed

Yet two Chirp icons still sit in the App directory (one loads the old Chirp, and the other one does nothing).
In addition (this is how I discovered something was wrong) my Software Updater gives me an error message: "failed to download repository directory" on the first attempt, then on "try again" - says the computer is up to date.
This started happening out of the blue. Originally two versions of Chirp existed on the machine for years. Both versions worked, one with older radio and one with newer radios.
I attempted to edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and "chirp" is not found within the file.

What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix this?
