I see you are receiving the 15 March build when using apt-get. Don't
use apt-get, go directly to this web page
http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ and download the
tar.gz file. That will get you the 24 May build - or later if it gets
updated before you get around to downloading. Run the chirpw file from
the directory created when you unpack the daily build, not the one
in /usr/bin. If you still get a failure, at least you can say you've
tried the latest build.

It would be interesting to see if the same console error messages come
up...my only experience with Debian has been limited to the Raspberry Pi
so I can't help you with that elib_intl error.
