seems like Mr. Zuckerburg is at it again:

never let giving anyone his orbs without staying on his spider site...

You installed yt-dlp with a package manager or setup.py; Use that to update

its over!

install with pip3 and use its environment you dont need netbsd for this
im always having to update the yt-dlp package


apt install python3-pip

i forgot how to use pip3 but you should be able to figure it out
also unsure what the binary is maybe its pip or python3-pip or pip3 dont forget the dpkg incarnation for listing files from a orbpackage
