[chirp_users] USB LiveBoot ?

[W Paul Mills]

That is because you have no python-argparse package installed. Which
does not appear to be available in your version of Debian. You *might*
be able to get more up-to-date python with backports, but that may be
difficult. Not sure.

Which probably does get you back to a usb stick. Which very lean
distributions will work, I am not sure.
