It's not working yet, but your suggestions were somewhat helpful, Akkana.
I got this result:
...
yt-dlp is already the newest version (2023.03.04-1~bpo11+1).
That seems to contradict the other output:
Even though it didn't solve this issue, it's helpful to know this basic approach. I played with it a bit. I removed yt-dlp and installed it again. Being the older version, it didn't update, but it got me a new bit of basic knowledge. So, thanks to Akkana for that, even though the initial issue remains.
I'm guessing that there is a newer version, which is necessary to have, but that the newest version is not available in the apt repository.
This refers to John's postulate: "But it looks like the second machine used 'apt' to install the package, while the first one was installed by another means?"
I don't recall how yt-dlp was installed on the len4 machine, where the update was successful, but I have a vague memory that youtube-dl (and now yt-dlp) was known to have older versions in apt, which made it advantageous to install it from a different source. I don't recall what that source is or how to do that.
Anyone know that?
In gratitude,
LeRoy

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.

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:
Current Build Hash:
91cad9f121c1f6f0a81b747415c46ecba0ff331ed38cc6433040b4ac7b6e15ca
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:
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
