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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div>This refers to John's postulate: "<span style="font-family: monospace;">But it looks like the second machine used 'apt' to install the package, </span><span style="font-family: monospace;">while the first one was installed by another means?</span>"</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyone know that?</div><div><br></div><div>In gratitude,</div><div>LeRoy</div><div><br></div><div><span><pre>-- <br></pre><span style="caret-color: rgb(46, 52, 54);
