ok I figured it out, there is an odd glitch here. The flirc will not work if the lights in the room are on while the flirc is first booting. What I needed to do was to shadow the flirc with my hand and then while shadowed from the rest of the room hit a few buttons on the remote, soon as I verify the flirc is working while shadowed from the room it will then continue to work unshadowed.
It seems to me the flirc is becoming overwhelmed during first boot in a bright environment, as soon as it receives a few ir blasts from a remote it seems to then adjust something that allows it to tone out everything else and follow that one remote fine.

I've been using the usb flirc for a long time, but occasionally they stop working and then work sporadically. I'm using windows, just trying to get numbers into notepad. plug the usb in, it will work for 1 maybe two keystrokes then stop working. Unplug/plug back in a bunch of times then it will work again for a few minutes. Sometimes I'll get it working, then unplug/replug and nothing. Is there a way to get them to work reliably and from boot?

I found the apt-get unnecessary anyways. Got it to work by installing as many of the dependencies as I could, some of them weren't found but apparently they weren't critical. sudo Flirc ran the gui fine and it worked great.

I had an issue getting all the dependencies but it didn't matter the executable gui still ran fine without them.
usb flirc does not work consistently

This is consistently the issue now. What I need to do every time the flirc boots is to shadow the receiver, hit a single button on the remote inside the shadow, and then it works fine after.
