I know it's been marked as solved and everything, but I just wanted to add that this /usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory message error, doesn't have to do with python not being installed, but youtube-dl still looking for python2, which is deprecated and that's why when you installed the pkg python-is-python2 youtube-dl worked. You can verify with
Code: [Select]
cat $(which youtube-dl) for python3 you should see
Code: [Select]
 moltke  ~  cat $(which youtube-dl)
#!/usr/bin/python3
if you instead see this
Code: [Select]
#!/usr/bin/env python which you probably will, then youtube-dl is indeed looking for python2. This pkg http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/y/youtube-dl/youtube-dl_2021.04.07-0ubuntu1_all.deb has that line set properly pointing to python3.

Also, this
Code: [Select]
youtube-dl: error: youtube-dl's self-update mechanism is disabled on Debian.
Please update youtube-dl using apt(8).
See https://packages.debian.org/sid/youtube-dl for the latest packaged version.
Is because of youtube api changes made by google, which they do quite often.

You need to reverse what ever method you installed it with in the first place. Then start fresh with this...

Code: [Select]
sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Then updates are simply..

Code: [Select]
sudo youtube-dl --update


Ok, nice...so I uninstalled the version I had and then used the commands you posted to install from yt-dl.org.  Afterwards, I got the error when trying to --update or --version the program.

Code: [Select]
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
I was like what?  Isn't python installed by default on every system these days?   :shrug

But I went ahead and tried this:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install python
And it installed "python-is-python2" package and now it works and youtube-dl is up to date.

Ok, I give up Jerry, how did you do that?  :shrug

When I run the same command I get:

Code: [Select]
youtube-dl: error: youtube-dl's self-update mechanism is disabled on Debian.
Please update youtube-dl using apt(8).
See https://packages.debian.org/sid/youtube-dl for the latest packaged version.

Ok, I installed snapd (it is not installed by default on LL 5.4) and ran the command to install youtube-dl with it (after completely removing the older one in synaptics I had installed previously).

Code: [Select]
sudo snap install youtube-dl
This resulted in version 2021.01.16 being installed which is newer than the one in synaptics, but not the newest 2021.05.16.

"youtube-dl -U" still won't update it and replies:

Code: [Select]
It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball. Please use that to update.
Do I need to download and compile the newest version manually?

Be advised You-Tube is in a state of flux these days over changes in EU copyright law, and I expect it to continue to be annoying to the free software community. You can use snapd to install the latest version for Ubuntu 20.x. See the link.

Ok, I will check the link and read about it.  Thanks for the tip.


HI timbuck2,
You might also try

sudo youtube-dl -U
enter your password

To verify it got updated code now:
youtube-dl --version

Hope it helps.

Yes, I had tried that first before I posted here.  I got the following message when I tried:

Code: [Select]
youtube-dl: error: youtube-dl's self-update mechanism is disabled on Debian.
Please update youtube-dl using apt(8).
See https://packages.debian.org/sid/youtube-dl for the latest packaged version.

So youtube changed their api or something and the youtube-dl version in LL 5.4 (2020.03.24-1) doesn't work anymore.   This version is over a year old and out of date.  There is a new 2021.05.16 which is the current version.

How would I install this new version on my system when it is not in the repo provided by LL?  Do I have to uninstall the repo version and build the current version manually?  Any help would be appreciated.
