<p>I will look into this. In the meantime, as I do not know which
email to hang this news off of, I will put it here. Here is a (4
star for some reason) comment on the FTDI cable I bought:

<p><span data-hook="review-body" class="a-size-base review-text
review-text-content"><span>I bought this cable after many,
many owners of the Baofeng radios stated to purchase the
more expensive cable over the lesser priced cables. My
experience was interesting, many owners of these types of
cables stated that "they just work with linux with no
additional software or support." (besides Chirp) and frankly
as a Linux user that's what drew me to this product. <b>Long
story short, this did not work with Chirp in Linux, even
after updating to the newest version of Chirp.</b> I even
downloaded and created a Chirp Live CD. That did not work
either.</span></span></p>

<p>I ran this command, found on web to install python-future, as
the apt install command was unable to locate package
python-future.</p>
<blockquote>

<p>I ran the two commands you specified. The output is attached.
In the syslog file, the first 3 lines are unplug, the rest are
due to replugging in the FTDI cable. Here seems to be the
pertinent line from syslog;</p>
<blockquote>

<p>Not sure what move to make now.</p>
