I'd do what the message says, and use apt to update it. You should already be running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade (or full-upgrade), which will pull in new versions of yt-dlp, but if you want to do just that package, you can sudo apt install yt-dlp Or if the apt package isn't new enough, you can sudo apt remove yt-dlp and then install the other version. ...Akkana LeRoy Diener writes:
Hi NMGLUG folks,
Here's an interesting error that I'm trying to resolve.
On one computer, len4, with Debian 11, I updated yt-dlp successfully, as shown here ll@len4:~$ sudo yt-dlp -U [sudo] password for ll: Available version: stable@2023.07.06, Current version: stable@2023.03.04 Current Build Hash: 91cad9f121c1f6f0a81b747415c46ecba0ff331ed38cc6433040b4ac7b6e15ca Updating to stable@2023.07.06 ... Updated yt-dlp to stable@2023.07.06 ll@len4:~$
On another computer, leno, also with Debian 11, I get an error trying to update yt-dlp, as below ll@leno:~$ sudo yt-dlp -U [sudo] password for ll: Available version: stable@2023.07.06, Current version: stable@2023.03.04 ERROR: As yt-dlp has been installed via apt, you should use that to update. If you're on a stable release, also check backports. ll@leno:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) Release: 11 Codename: bullseye ll@leno:~$
Any ideas?
Thanks, LeRoy
