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).
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:
Do I need to download and compile the newest version manually?
Code:

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?
