Bug#843194: chirp: running chirp as non-root

[Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <arturo@debian.org>]

Package: chirp
Version: 1:20160717-1
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers, thanks for your work with chirp, it's really
appreciated.

I'm running into problems using chirp as a non-root user.

When it comes to read/write from an usb connected walkie-talkie, chirp
complains about wrong permissions and refuses to work.

Perhaps I need additional permission configuration in my machine.

Anyway, any hint?

thanks, best regards.
